Would anyone care to pass on their experiences with surface mount device (SMD) soldering techniques?
Sounds like this is a key skill for circuit development.
Has anyone tried self-aligning solder paste with a home heating device like an iron, a frying pan, or a toaster oven like this?

For manual techniques:
1. What wattage soldering iron do you like?
2. What kind of rosin/flux?
3. What material solder?
4. What diameter solder wire?
5. What kind of holding device?
6. What diameter soldering iron tip?
What size chips have you worked with? What package types? QSOP for example.
