Backtracking a bit, I have used "Chip Quick" aka SMD1-ND for lo-vol rework.
Is this a variation on the Wood's metal theme with it's low melt alloy?
It has worked well, is very quick, clean and affordable for leaded SMT
rework - especially SOIC's and TQFP's. Before I recommend it to to others,
are there any negatives I am unaware of??
