if you enjoyed that experience, check out the Treezilla project! Mapping trees all across the UK. I'm not addicted, I can stop any time...

my take on that is that the moisture in the component would be in contact with a pad and could prevent flow soldering by drawing heat away? Once soldered of course it matters not.

#introduction time! [it's a r-r-repeat]
Hi, I'm Phil, aka Phlash (a long story or a plausible abbreviation of my name).
I retired from a career in systems & software (with some electronics and people engineering on the side) in 2020, now working part-time for a local insurance org on their system architecture.
I'm a Dad (6 grown children), Grandad (6 times so far..), UK resident, musician, sailor, holiday enthusiast :)
