My highly advanced GE convection reflow oven cost $38.99 and that part of the experiment work perfectly.  Besides, I don't have room for one that size, Mike {:>)
 
The most difficult part of the experiment was placing the components without rubbing the solder paste off the pad and knocking another component askew. I now understand why they talked about "arm rests".  It doesn't take much to get misalign.
 


Ed, get a second piece of plexiglass cut.  This one to have large holes to clear the solder pads, but comes in to the thickness of the components.  The idea is to drop the components into a hole that will force them into alignment.  All the better if it's made of a material that can stand the heat of the oven.
