I've been researching SMDs and how to solder them properlly. I found this site which has some good info and illustrations, just felt like sharing.

edit: I have been considering the Hakko 936 since many of you guys recommend that iron, only problem is they run too hot for smd work it seems, can anyone confirm this or be able to give some advice. I'm assuming at this point I would have to buy an additional low power iron just for smd work. :/
