Hi y'All.
I have just bought a new temperature controlled soldering station.
When de-soldering PCB joints positioned in large copper lands, I find it takes considerable time (6 to 8 seconds) to get the solder to melt because of the considerable heat drain, even at high temperatures.
So I am going to experiment with pre-heating the motherboard using home appliances like my gas oven or a hot air hair-dryer.
Has anyone tried this before or can anyone offer advice from personal experience?
Must be someone else out there bent enough to try this before!
