can anyone recommend at diy way of flow soldering surface mount
components??
i ask as making somr boards up that are totally sm, and well i am going
blind trying to solder them using iron!!

Here is a link for the "Ez-bake" approach to soldering.

That looks like a good way to go, it would sure beat trying to solder
individual leads, but... it looks like the minimum order quantity is 10
tubes
of solder, for $120 or so. (And these are the small 35g tubes. Digikey's
are
more like $800 for the minimum qty of 500g tubes.)

Anyone know a source for small quantity (1-3 tubes) purchases?
