Re: SMDs and stripboard
Liquid flux makes soldering these tiny packages a lot easier. A fine bent 45 degree tip also helps. If the device is glued down, the pins flooded as described, a sharp tap on the bench gets rid of excess solder. This is how they do it on the assembly lines for individually installed IC's like FPGA's etc.
