actualy chaps i did this thread when i first joined! so about 2 years ago :D, might as well give an update tho lol, i tried all the methods sugested some worked some didnt work as well, i watched all the you tube vids, some were very very good some were awful,
i upgraded my £5 soldering iron for a £15 soldering iron and my soldering took a leap forward. fast forward 12 months from that point and i decided to invest in a soldering station with hot air rework as well... best thing i ever did!! my soldering rapidily improved, i still know very little about electronics but i can solder even TQFN's with the iron or the rework air to standard i am more than happy with.
i did strugle with eye sight untill one day i came accross a contracption on ebay, i will take a pic later as this was probaly one of my greatest top3 buys of all time ;) as for holding smd in place while soldering i found the easiest way for me was too buy sticky liquid flux! nice and simples and works a treat. however it can be pretty awful to clean off!
