I've re-tinned the PCB with new solder. I've also cleaned up the bottom of the IC by re-tinning and removing any solder paste gunk that may have been shorting pads together on the bottom of the IC. Now I pre-heat the footprint a bit with a swirling motion to get the solder molten, place (throw) the IC down and it almost immediately goes to the center of the footprint. I bump the IC a bit (side to side and a bit of downward pressure) to make sure the IC is in contact with the footprint pads. A little more swirling of the air and the IC re-centers on the footprint and then I remove the air.

    I also have shaky hands for some reason too. I guess I was born with it. Doesnt really help when you are trying to handle small things like diodes.

    If you also add some tacky flux (I use kester TSF) to the board, you will flow the solder much easier. The component will likely self align itself too.

    Thanks for that. QFN and stuff like that give me nightmares, but I have a hot air station at work that I have never tried.

    I tried the trick you guys show in one of your other videos with solder wick and was able to put on a 0,5mm pitch zif connector for a OSRAM OLED display. I was shocked when it worked...
