On my fishtank, I have a thin plastic strip on the glass that changes colour in response to temperature. I wondered if there is something similar to assist with soldering?
Thinking of soldering SMT IC's with a hot air gun. Just something additional, for comfort, to confirm once you've melted the solder properly, especially if you can't easily see the connections directly e.g. BGA's, WSON chips etc.
& to help you decide when enough heat has been applied, and more would just be needlessly cooking the component..
I'm visualising say, a white dot sticker that turns into a red dot soon as a suitable temperature is reached. Maybe there's something out there? I've not been able to google anything up so far
