"Soldering" with a heat gun

<< < (4/4)

Ok, you guys have pretty much convinced me. I think I'll either get a hot air station instead of a heat gun, or use Mike's approach that Ian mentioned and make a hole in the back of the board for direct contact with the ICs.

Thanks for the great advice!

I was thinking of an electric skillet, but this would do just as well.

OP, definitely practice with some junk boards first to get the technique down. Preheating with an electric skillet or similar would also be advisable with the large pad under the chip (no hole).
