But solder paste not so easy to come by and seems to have use before date.

Also the post companies today are in a pain and some lunatic gave me email address to them.
Than they try more or less to force you an app, look online, the post should be doing they are supposed to do deliver post and not trying to be an internet provider.

But like to build a hotplate based on clothing iron.

hot air guns... if you place vias in the bottom heatsink pad you can heat with an iron from the other side.

It should be easy with a hot air gun.
If you also do the pcb layout, you could place a big through hole via in the center of the GND pad and use a normal solder iron and solder to make the connection.

Good idea, these are much smaller and the pcb wil be smaller & cheaper.
