An inexpensive source for one of these is a paint remover heat gun. I
bought several at Lowes (Lumber/Building supplies) for $25 each.

Hello gentlemen,
the point is that the long "o" in solder is pronounced in US english
like "aw" in a common process known as delabilisation or unrounding.
This phenomenon is known in other languages, too, e.g. in Russian ("eto"
is pronounced like "eta"). The same is true with "lot" or "bother".

We spell it "solder" but say it "sawder".
Reason is unknown to me.

It is spelled Solder, but pronounced as if the L was silent, "sodder".

Something like 3 is pronounced in Hants - fwreee, or something like that.
(I have seldom heard the 'l' in the US.)

How do you spell "Solder" in the US? All the videos seem to pronounce
it "sodder" whereas I have only ever heard it pronounced "solder" or

Guess what…
One hopeful point is that I made the board pads oversize, so I might
even be able to use a soldering iron.

OK, one has been on my "to-buy" list for a while, but so far the
hairdryer has worked.

Good video, Goes over the basics of soldering SMD chips. They use flux a
lot to help clean and direct the solder where to go as many carry the
solder on the hot tip to the smd component and the built in rosin
usually boils away.

I have some surface-mount opto-sensors which have pads on the
underside, but no pins as such.
Can anyone suggest how to solder them to PCB pads? I currently have a
soldering iron, blowtorch, gas cooker and a hairdryer, though I am not
averse to buying other tools.
