I always seem to get a lot of bridges unless I do it
with paste and a
toaster oven. I'm sure it's something I'm doing wrong instead of some
intrinsic problem, but it's enough to make me think twice when it's a
problem.
I think all you're doing wrong is worrying about it. Serioiusly, with
fine ptich SMDs, it's beest to solder the pins donw nad not worry about
bridges, and then claen up with desolder braid later.
