Another simple method for making PCB's

My preferred method for making PCBs now involves Kinsten Presensitized postive acting PCB. It is very simple and very accurate (far more accurate than any iron on method). You can learn more about it by following this link (commercial site)

SMT Soldering Links :

Using a kitchen mini electric oven for SMT reflow. I like it!

A Simple but very useful idea - Using Blu-Tac to hold SMD ICs in place during soldering.
