Removal Alloy for SMD Rework - 8 ft.

This stuff work great for the removal of through hole devices or SMD parts that you don't have a hot air attachment of the right size for. Great for PCBA rework. Make sure to have Solder-Wick handy as it does stay on the PCB after the part comes off. I do a lot of prototype work and the Alloy has saved me lots of time and effort changing out components.

Works great. I replace joysticks regularly and I applied some to each pin, heated each pin individually and by the time I melted the last joint, the entire stick box literally fell out because the first joints still didn't harden. Stays liquid for a long time and is very easy to apply with good flux. Just make sure you clean it off the pads after or else you'll have some weak solder joints. Low melt solder is the s&$%!

Works well for desoldering stubborn parts. Flows quick and mixes easily.

This is a pretty useful tool when you don't want to use hot air due to the board layout. It was extremely easy to use and the short thick solder is pretty versatile in its handling. I set my iron at 380C, add flux to IC, then add some of this low temp solder and work it around. In 20 seconds you'll see the chip sliding around on it its own, and you just slide it off. If there was any complaint about this it would be the price as compared to other solders. But removing a 24 pin IC took about 1/4 of a stick so even though this is pretty pricey, it should last your average hobbyist quite a long time.

If you're new to soldering, this is a must have for removing surface mount ICs. I SEVERELY damaged a customer's YSUS board trying to remove a shorted 100 pin TQFP. I had used my Quick 861D a few dozen times at that point, and never needed any Fast Chip. After heating the area for way too long and the IC not releasing, I could smell burning substrate. Then I panicked and used too much leverage. The chip came up bringing about two dozen pads and traces with it. It cost $114.00 to replace the board I destroyed. Plus, I had to tell a paying customer that I ruined their equipment. You learn things in this business everyday, but learn from my mistake instead of making it yourself. I use a little of this on every chip that looks like it might put up a fight and it never fails to do the job. It only takes a small amount and this size tube will last a long time. If you solder as hobby or for business, you need this. It is worth it's weight in gold. It saves you time and money in both short and long term.

This low melt alloy changed my life. It's always a pain to remove components from thick multilayer PCBs or SMD components with a simple soldering iron. Usually need the iron cranked up all the way and even then it can be difficult to clear small through hole vias to install new components. I used this alloy to remove a capacitor. I added it to one leg and then about half a second after I added it to the other leg the capacitor fell out of the board. No force applied. The first leg stayed liquid as I heated up the second leg. I was stunned. And when I went to clean up the hole, it wicked up completely almost instantly. I highly recommend this alloy. It made everything so simple. It makes everything so simple it feels like cheating.

That's a small amount, but if you just want to replace some joystick analog sticks with TMR sticks, this is very helpful and more than you need. The idea is that (always use good flux) you can melt this with the existing no-lead solder on the joystick's board. This will lower the melting temperature of the connection, helping you remove the old part more successfully and faster.

Works well for removing stubborn capacitors just be aware obviously this stuff melts super easy and can drip easy and really make a mess all over your motherboard. Also make sure not to use a desolder tool with it because it will clog the machine.

Ik had er wat anders van verwacht, het ging niet zo makkelijk als verwacht.

Low melt in name and low melt it does. Quite happy with the solder. I just wish I was better at it lol.

This is a very useful tool for removing surface mounted devices (smd). With some solder paste and application of this low melting point solder on top of the solder to be removed, by continuously running the soldering iron along the solder it becomes molten and can be easily removed and saves a lot of time. I prefer this method to desoldering pumps, hot air reworking stations and desoldering braid.

I've been fixing radios for 40 years and when the new surface-mounted components started to immerge it became an issue to remove large IC. I was skeptical at first till I had to remove a 40 pin IC from the radio and I didn't want to brick a customer's radio. I found this alloy that actually works fantastic for large IC removal. For modern day electronics, this is the best it makes it so easy to remove large IC's from a circuit board

It is an excellent product, works just like other more expensive brands
