@Skitzo520 no most of the time "reflow soldering" is for reatching loose connections on chips but also for attaching them and i guess you could probaly use it to remove the chip tho ive never tried to myself
When doing this, do you place the PCB in a hydro wash to wash off the flux or are you using a no clean flux? This method of SMT is new to me as I am used to seeing SMT machine, using solder past and then it may go through the hydro wash to clean off the flux.
The frypan I use has a glass lid so we are getting some convection and heat transfer from the top of the board as well. There is a quite noticeable difference in reflow performance between lid on and off.
Heating the board from below is backward--the board has insulative qualities that are fighting transmission of heat to the substrate above--the board's tough enough to withstand this technique, but it's not as good as applying heat by convection from above. Hot air!
I tried doing this before but without a controller and although I had reflow I managed to burn the pcb on the side facing the hot plate. I'll try again as soon as buy a cheap cooking plate and finish a (pid?) controller
whole process is completed in the frypan with a controller that ramps the temps up & down according to my program - I'll get around to a video with the whole process in solder paste application and component placement one day!
Interesting to see how the surface tension of the solder pulls all the components into alignment with the pads .. :)

Thats pretty cool. At one point I was watching and I thought of the expression of 'watching paint dry' LOL

is this removing the chips?

And when you're done with one side, you just flip it like a pancake!

Awesome!! Great technique with you camera. What are you using to preheat? Could you make a sequel to learn more the method?
