Spend $20 and buy a cheap hotplate :-) Not sure what you'd do about solder paste; perhaps put solder dots on the pcb with your iron, add flux, and reflow it. > Do you think I could just put a plated-through via underneath the > pad, and then flow solder through that from the back side? I've done that as well, but beware you need a pretty hefty iron to generate enough heat to melt the solder. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
