 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.
