Subject: SMT questions



> I notice quite a few people are now using surface mount PCBs (Ambler
> reminded me of this). Some questions:
>
> What soldering method is being used - the usual one but with SMT
> components instead of normal ones, or are some people using paste and
> baking the board or something?
>
> How are the PCBs normally made - I get the impression that some are
> home-made, and that some home-designs are being professionally produced.
> Can anyone sum up what sort of things are being done?
