There's a much simpler and cheaper solution for experimenter 'one- off'
board soldering. Just solder all the part leads to the board without
worrying about solder bridging. After you're done, come back and wick off
all the excess solder with solder-wick. This will remove all solder
bridging, but will leave a good strong solder joint between the part leads
and the board pads. Of course it only works on parts with exposed leads, not
BGA's etc.

This SMD Oven Controller (SMDOC-01) is designed to use with a toaster
oven. It provide a low cost solution for making SMD prototypes and
samples. The temperature profile is similar to the expensive industrial
SMD oven provided. So, the sample quality is as good as the industrial
oven can do. It is capable for packages including 0402, BGA, QFP, SOP,
SSOP, TSSOP, SOT, etc. It is an indispensable tool for R&D and making
samples. It is very suitable for electronic companies, laboratories,
universities and hobbyists. SMD Oven Controller (SMDOC-01) is only
US$206, including oven (PCB size is large up to 19 x 17cm) is US$283.
Voltage 220V, 8A fused.

Features:
1.Small, low price, performance comparable to expensive industrial SMD
oven.
2.Capable for any SMD packages. An indispensable tool for R&D, sample
making and small batch production.
3.No hand soldering. No painful. No difficult. Save time.
4.Connectable to PC via RS232 for profile setup and temperature
monitor. It can also operate independently without PC.
5.Simple to use. LEDs indication for each stage of pre-heat, soak,
reflow and cooling. Alarm and power cut off after finished.
