Jeff,
I'll be offering a tutorial on exactly this subject at
the upcoming GARS TechFest on Jan 9th for the North Fulton Amateur Radio League.
It's not really difficult, does require a bit of
practice, and a few tools. Hot air is a much more complex venture and I'll be
demoing it at the TechFest.
If you have specific questions before then please
contact me via PM or call. Contact details at www.nfarl.org .

Subject: [SECC] SMD Soldering/unsoldering Question
Any SECCers have experience in Surface Mount Device soldering
and unsoldering ? SMDs are used in lots of ham equipment and I wanted to
gain some proficiency in SMD. I’ve checked the web, but really
didn’t find any clear answers.
In particular,
Any recommendations for a soldering pencil (Weller WES51 or
Hakko 936 ?), and tip (1/64 inch ?)
Any recommendations for desoldering a 4 sided flat pack (hot
air tool?)
Magnifying lens
Thanks,
Jeff W4DD
