Hi Guys, Until now when I need to replace a device on a pcb I just scrape the lacquer away with a small knife, but that always leaves me a bit uneasy... I am finding that I am doing this more and more and would like to find a better solution. Ideally I am looking for some chemical that will remove/dissolve the lacquer without damaging anything else around it, including the chip I need to remove and that will not compromise the soldering of the new device once the fauty device is removed. Any info/experience would be welcomed. Thank you.
