Probably a newbie question, but I'm going to ask anyway... 
I've etched a circuit board with a few SMT components on it. I laid
it out for 1206-sized parts, but it's starting to seem that the only
parts I can get with the values I require are 0805-sized.
Hence my question - can I still solder 0805 components onto pads laid
out for 1206 components...? Comparing the pad spacing side-by-side on
my CAD program, it looks marginally possible.
