yes you can do BGA's, just be careful about placement...

you can reflow many many times....

i do 4 layer pcb's and components on both sides!! (chips too)

the surface tension of the solder paste holds them onto the board and pulls them onto the pads.

We've soldered leadless DFN and QFN packages with 0.5 mm pitch by using a hot plate (somewhat similar to a frying pan).

hahahahah hey thats cool... yah leadless 0.5 on a frying pan eeeek!! DONT FLIP IT IN THE AIR HAHAHAHAHAHHhhahahahha

oh my....

well you still cant do double sided on it!!!!

you can with a toaster oven reflow controller.



but with all respect, a hot plate is a cool idea and a cheap solution too.

but i love my toaster oven though.

i can do double sided SMD with same temp solder paste!!

yah i only use a frying pan for breakfast too hahaha

i just finished a 6 layer double sided board with lotsa 0.5 pitch parts!!!



its all in the stencil and the amount of paste..
