DorkbotPDX people doing strange things with electricity

I saw a post on the Dorkbot PDX group in regards to using specialized components to make it easier to solder small SMT parts and keep them in place. I used a simple re-usable method some years ago using only microscope slide cover glass and a little extra solder flux paste.

Microscope slide cover glass comes and various thicknesses from 0.13 to 0.17 mm, and can easily be obtained.

You need to trim away some pieces of the glass and shape them into a size you're comfortable using. I suggest somewhere in the following range:

• Width: 2 to 3.5 mm
• Height: 3 to 5 mm

Neener neener neener...

The Beaverton Norvac Electronics is just 10 minutes walk from my place.

Hee hee hee!
