My highly advanced GE convection reflow oven = cost $38.99=20 and that part of the experiment work perfectly. Besides, I don't = have room=20 for one that size, Mike {:>)

The most difficult part of the experiment was = placing the=20 components without rubbing the solder paste off the pad and knocking = another=20 component askew. I now understand why they talked about "arm = rests". It=20 doesn't take much to get misalign.
