Step 5Make the base
I call it making the base because this is where you will base your SMD component, take some solder and soldering iron and add miniscule amounts of solder on each of the connections, it does not matter if the solder connects with other connections.

The important thing to remember for your "base" step is that the pads need to be flat and smooth. Particularly with fine pitch parts, I like to remove as much solder as I can, then brush my iron across the pads to leave a smooth surface. If you have a liquid flux, adding the flux to the board before using your iron can help a great deal with getting solder to flow (just don't forget to clean afterwards if you're using organic flux).
