I am a retired ET and help my stepson at his Computer and TV service shop.
I have limited experiance with SMD Desolder and Soldering. What is the best for desoldering? QuickChip or the Zepher stuff? What is the best or easy to use Solder Paste? The more I lokked online the more options and confusing it got. Every one said theirs was the best.
I know I need low temp melting solder for IC removal. What is the best wattage, tempature for soldering Iron. Tip size? Then the soldering? I see people use soldering irons, others use solder paste and iron or solder paste with hot air flow. A pre heaters required? If uou add up all the cost it it does not seem worth while.
I do have several soldering irons, one Den-on delodering tool that will also blow hot air. What do you guys suggest for a decent amount of toolls for occasional smd rework. My work bench is good stock of meters, 100mhz scope, P.S., cap checker, ESR meter, leekseeker, Sencore TF46 and some other test equipment.
Thanks
