I barely trust myself with a soldering iron, and don't want to risk overheating leds in an attempt to solder them onto some SinkPads I purchased. Anyone know of a reliable source to commission a few mcpcb reflow solders? About 10 standard star boards probably.

If you can't monitor temperature, I wouldn't risk it for premium top output bins on copper stars. If you can monitor temperature, just read the LED's datasheet. Esp. Cree, will tell you exactly what temperatures to use, how long to heat up the parts, how long you can keep the heat on the parts to get the solder to flow, etc.

Maybe search around your area for anyone doing Xbox repairs? Most will consider doing other reflow work.

where are you located - i can help you out to do a few if you need - I'm in CT and i have been reflow soldering myself for the last 2-3 years now. Send me a PM if you want help.
