Homebrew PCBs

I'll bet it's magnitism.  They make Titanium tweezers for SMD work.  www.digikey.com.

      I've been placing some 0805 SMT components on PCB's this weekend. Use 

tweezers to place the component and a dental pick to fine tune its 

position on the board.



Often times the component will stick to a leg of the tweezer or to the 

dental pick. Very annoying to get the component in the right spot and be 

unable to "let go" of it.



What makes it stick? Anything to do to lessen the sticking effect of 

components to tools? I cleaned the tweezers and dental pick with 

alcohol, but to no avail.



Thanks.
