    Good find, interesting.

    Read somewhere about some low temperature solder you can apply to remove multiple pins on a chip easily; anyone got a link for that? I recently managed to achieve this with laying extra solder to make a line of solder and using the iron to heat up the solder, removing the chip - however this made the board rather warm: was doing this on a spare board so not an issue, however would be nice to get some proper stuff. Link?

    It's cool but it's also sloppy and will need clean up if done by hand.

    Solder paste is nice but it's alot more expensive than normal solder. For fine pitch components it's a must.

    Cool!


    But the answer to that toaster oven is the professional workstation my brother worked at during his internship. Made soldering and desoldering a breeze.

    It's called ChipQuick.

    Or this yes :) But you can just take Rose/Wood metal, solder it over chip pins and unsolder whole chip at lower temperature.

    On e-bay, Chip Quik is expensive, instead got some low temperature solder cheaply; to get some, search on ebay for "low solder"
