The recent episode has me wanting to smack him up side the head over his bad soldering techniques. He should be using soldering past on those surface mount components. Soldering paste and the heat gun would be so much easier to work with. Also having a simple DIY pointer weight to help hold the component in place over the pads while heating helps a lot too.
