Oh, I see. I started moving references to make them readable, and I'll change the diodes reference size as soon as I understand how to do it. The same about tenting, I read that page a while ago, but never put it in practice.The text is between the pads, and overlaps the pads, such that much of the silk screen will be blanked out.
About the cases, I'm still searching... I'll speak up when I find something.
Cool. There are many ways to try anyway. I'd like to try the hot plate first.I've also seen folks use a toaster, on it's side with the spring mechanism disable, for small boards. When done this way, you can make a reflow oven for under $100. I used some $18 SSR's from futurlec. It took them some months for the parts to arrive, but for the price, you can't beat these SSR's.

I went with the infrawave oven because it combines infrared and conduction, and it's large enough to do a typical PCB. The conduction creates air patterns that help smooth out hot spots often found in pure infrared ovens.
Okay, hands on ;-)No pat on the back required, a much better way to say thanks is to complete this project and make it run the vehicle. Keep it up and I'll assist in what ways I can.
