Re: Surface Mounting Components.

Earl,
I think I would try to buy a solder sucker, at least the Iron, you will
need a good supply of "bit" and homemade ones would be eaten away much
to quickly.
Solder sucker systems and spare parts are cheaper, I think the fact that
it's a much more mass produced item helps keep the price down.
