Hello, at the link bellow, they talk about using an electric hotplate for SMT soldering: http://www.sparkfun.com/tutorial/ReflowToaster/reflow-hotplate.htm I'm amazed by this. Seend to be a very cool (well, hot actually ) way to solder SMT boards. I know that there's some very interesting industrial hotplates with larger and more uniform heating areas and digital heating control. Is there anybody here using hotplaters for SMT soldering? Any idea where can I buy a good one in Brazil or USA?
