You sparked the idea. And you made it sound so obvious (in your 9am message)
that I had a working prototype by a little after 10. Once I figured out the
"trick".

The push was more that most of the ideas were there, it just needed quick
action.

This was only $9.99 at Radio Shack. (OK, not worldly, but I'm sure similar
ones can be obtained/ordered for roughly the same price. I wonder if the
Shack will now have a run on these...)

My tech at work has used the toaster oven idea. He likes it. I have yet to
buy one for myself (at home). My cool new air-pencil works pretty good.
Combined with the inverted clothes iron (I'll find a cheap one to use) I
think that it will do SMT quite well!
