Any reason why small leaded caps cannot be just be bridged across the SMTs?
Lots easier to hold the lead with a tweezer and dap a little solder on
the end.

They're 0603s (.06" x .03"), which would be considered "mediums size" by
today's SMD standards. But it does take a bit of courage (and a good pair of tweezers, and maybe a
shot of cheap whisky) to install them by hand. Hats off to our intrepid customers attempting this
for the first time!

P.S. Our engineers and technicians routinely work with with packages that are
about 0603 size, but have *6* leads that must all be soldered. This is done by
flowing solder onto all 3 pins on one side at a time (carefully!), then wicking
the excess solder off with solder wick or a vacuum tool. Not for the faint of
heart.

Are these 0805 or 0603/0604 or even smaller chips ?
