So I have my first ever “proper” soldering station, and it has a hot air reflow gun for #SMD components.
Is it worth my time to practice doing reflow on something like this from Aliexpress (see image and it’s description) it’s as cheap as chips?
Or should I be safe doing my first reflow on a real board if I follow the tips and tricks on the intertubes?

Using cage nuts to raise the #pcb in the T-962A reflow oven. Getting better results than with old pcb’s on the tray due to slightly better airflow.

Hallo, wir suchen für einen guten gemeinnützigen Zweck von @lightforlife einen IR/Konvektions-Reflowofen. Arbeits/Lötfläche ca. 200 x 250mm. Muss für bleifreies Löten geeignet sein und an 230V/16A laufen.
Kennt ihr jemanden der so etwas haben könnte und nicht mehr benötigt?
Danke ☀️🙏

#maker: if you want to #reflow #solder a #PCB populated (SMD) on both sides with hobby gear (Pizza-oven), how do you manage that ?
At the moment my Pizza-oven works like simple IR-reflow (no Fan / no hot air circulating / IR radiation only), so I can cover the bottom side with tinfoil and reflow the top side in a second pass (w/o accidentally desolder the bottom side SMD)
Since IR has major downsides,
I switch to a hot air oven in the near future. Do I have to glue the bottom components first ?

Legend of Zelda, Super Mario 3, and other NES masterpieces rendered in a 256 x 240 pixel space. And we can't figure out how to meet WCAG 1.4.10 (https://buff.ly/3aEBvGx)?
Maybe we need to go back to the 80's.
