Ghani Lawal- Re-watched soldering videos
- Tried using hot air rework station with solder paste
- Solder paste has a higher melting point than I thought, was using temperatures below 300 degrees Fahrenheit with little to know effect, cranked temperature to 370 degrees Fahrenheit, this was hot enough to melt the solder paste, the melting point is probably 350 degrees Fahrenheit
- Seems like 0201 components are two small for this method to work, the video that showed the example of a hot air reflow station used components that were at least 0603 or 0805
- Used 0.5mm solder and Needle/I-series Tips solder tip to solder 0201 capacitors, I have significantly improved my soldering abilities
- The magnifying glass and lamp stand was a HUGE help
- Soldered: C25-36
- Need to buy replacements for C21, C22, C37, C38, C39, C40, C41, C42
- Bought higher quality tweezers, mostly because I really need higher quality curved/angle tweezers
