[Elecraft] soldering SMD's

[Mike Weir]

I ordered K6XX's CW indicating light for my Elecraft k2 and it has some (resistors and caps) SMD's  I am going to have to work with. I have been reading on the internet about ways to instal these comments. I have read about using solder paste as this helps to place them and kinds steady’s them while soldering. Any thoughts on this method?? The only SMD work I did was on my K3 with the DC mod for powering the P3 with the K3. The soldering job was not pretty at all any input on soldering SMD's would be appreciated.
