Application of 'glue'

Mostly OK I guess, but I worry about the DFN10 footprint a bit.

Too much 'glue' ?

About to undo the damage of too much solder paste.

Dirty little suckers!

The first time that this has happened to me. I had to apply quite a bit of heat to get the DPAK MOSFET to do what I wanted. Apparently the mask couldn't take the heat. I see the advantage of plugged vias now.

Found some solder!

I've always been a fan of the 'wet sponge' method - until I got my new soldering station. It came with a dry cleaner. I love it!

SMD rework - ChipQuik test set

Moving on to new adventures: SMD desoldering of big fat chips. Getting a hot air rework station is too expensive now, so I'll try this first. The first victim will be an ATmega64 sitting on my Jyetech oscilloscope DIY KIT. www.chipquik.com

Unexpected moment of luck

Initially I had put these bridge-pads on there to select which pins are + and - and connect capacitors to them. Today I used this board with an MCP1804-SOP23-5 voltage regulator. I had everything plugged in and was in need of another GND pin. Not just the one going to the chip, bot one going to the load. Thanks to these jumpers I could use the unused pin #5 (top row in the middle) and just bridge it to GND. I need more of these little moments!
