Solder Reflow using a cheap Preheater Experiment (PART 1)

Solder Reflow using a cheap Preheater (Experiment)

Are you using just a Heat Gun for your SMD Reflow work?

Many hobbyists use converted ovens for Reflow, but I've always wanted a hot-plate style Reflower.

If you have limited space, the size of an oven can be an issue. But I think there's other advantages too!

Being on a tight budget, I thought I'd experiment with a relatively cheap Preheater from AliExpress.

Join me as I open up the Preheater to see what makes it tick, and then give Solder Reflow a try.

If you find this video of interest, please give me a thumbs-up, and subscribe for future videos. Thanks.
