Hell Yeah! Finally a soldering channel for us hacker nerds!!!!

[@danielzawerton7023]

Learned about you on Jousha Bardwels channel, Please post more !!!!!!!

Hi Daniel, thanks for watching! Anything specific you would like us to cover?

[@kevinsimms8947]

Do you heat up one side and then try to heat up the other and go back and forth to get the chip to lift? Or does the removal alloy stay liquid longer than solder?

[@SRASolderLab]

The fast chip alloy combined with the existing solder to lower the melting temperature and it also allows the solder to stay liquid for a long time.

Nice! Is there a shelf-life for the allow? Not too concerned about the flux.

[@SRASolderLab]

There is no shelf-life for the alloy.

[@TheWinterfan]

Excellent! Incoming order :)

I have a board that has a part that has bottom solder pads, how to I remove the part since I cannot get to the solder from around the outside of the part?

[@SRASolderLab]

In this case, you would need to use a hot air rework station or reflow oven to be able to heat the part and melt the solder on the bottom pads. You could also try a combination of a preheater, heating the bottom of the board and a hot air gun on top. Definitely a more advanced job to do without damaging anything. What is it that you're working on?

remove extra solder with copper wick . . . . . . .
