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

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

Well, today was the day. Got the missing SMD component in and I cooked my first SMD PC board in my new toaster oven.

The results were not totally successful, but satisfactory in that it didn't come out too bad for a first try and I learned several things.

Here are a few photos for those of you interested.
