[photo-3d] Heat seal mount

There was some questions about heat seal mount last week.  I have been doing 
that for a few years, I still use it for my not so hot ones, and the better 
ones goes in the RBT mounts (just started to do so).

This is my set up: I used a Ungar soldering iron as my heat source.  A 
1x1x1.5 inch aluminum block as my iron.  Drill a 3/8 inch hole through on 
about 1/3 height of the 1.5 inch side.  Tap a 10-32 screw on top to secure 
the metal part of the soldering iron.  The one I have is a 110 V. 56 W unit. 
It will take about 5 min. to warm up the block.  Once it is ready, the 
mounting job goes very easily.  The one inch square area can get in between 
two chips with no problem. Just don't get too close to the film edge.  A 6x8 
inch hard wood board is a good size to use for the mounting.
