working with SMD

One thing tho, i would like to request you to send me some procedures on how to work with surface mount devices (SMD's). I cant get the IC as DIP so i have no choice but improvise an SMD. What is your most professional advice on this? Is it possible you could help me with any procedures for using an SMD on a PCB circuit?.

This page is good, look at more pdf links in this page pdf links "right click and save to your desktop" you may need a big tabletop magnifier with light and a fine tip soldering iron to get started. It may be difficult and needs a lot of practice, but many people are able to do it.

Soldering Iron Tip

can I use stainless steel to replace a defective soldering iron tip?

soldering iron tips are mostly alloys of copper. the thermal conductivity of steel is poor. buy a soldering iron tip available in the local market. weller tips are magnetic and only original weller tips to be used.
