Use a solder stencil for applying solder paste

- Now let's take a look at something that's a little more difficult and requires a little more skill and tools. And that will be surface mount soldering with solder paste. Now, when you use solder paste, you typically also want to use a reflow handpiece, which allows you to set the temperature and the amount of air flowing out of this nozzle right here. You also can replace these nozzles. In my case, I'm just going to leave this small tip on. And in my example, today, we're going to be looking at the Metro Mini PCB that we ordered, and only a few components. It would take a long time for me to show you every single component on this board and how it's soldered in. So we're going to use the USB, URIC, a button, maybe a couple of LEDs and even a resonator. We'll see what happens and how the pieces go. The reason I'm not doing all of them is because, yeah, there's just a lot of components on this kit. And just for the sake…
