OK, this be insane, as it sounds goofy, but read on.
Got a sick M.A.C.H. 3, and the folks on the Dragon's Lair project said to "re-flow" the solder connections on all the boards (there are a bunch)
My question is this: I have a good soldering station and I am comfortable soldering, but I was searching the net and I saw a couple way to do this.
1) physically apply soldering iron/solder to each point
2) use a heat gun to re-heat solder joints/ add solder/flux as needed
3) put boards in oven and heat them up using the convection of the oven to re-flow the solder joints. (This is the one I am worried about) and still add solder/flux to suspect points as needed.
As you might expect, I do not want to screw anything up worse than it already is.
Any ideas/help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
