Hi Lynn,
From what little I read and I think I understand about the solder wave is
that it is just to complex and hazardous for home use. A bed of liquid
solder with "waves" agitated in it the cress of which bathes the
component/pad.
The reflow (put solder paste on the pads and cook in an IR oven) method
seems to be the standard approach in industry at the moment. The cooking
part worked fine, its the placement of components without rubbing the paste off
the pad or disturbing other components already placed that is my
challenge.

Hi
Finn,
Yes, I've seen some experiments on the web using a fish tank
pump hooked up
to a similar de-soldering iron. Plain cotton -
shouldn't be hard to find.

Are you not using a solder wave because of component size?
