What kind of fumes are coming off this stuff? I bought a heat gun and did a few boards, but what ended up happening is I would walk back into the house and REEK of fumes. I eventually just gave up and decided to buy all my parts new. Didn't seem like it was worth the health hazard.
Yeah it's pretty nasty stuff and I don't know the toxicity of it but I think as long as you ware a respirator the lingering smell can't really get into your lungs. Don't quote me on that!
I am using this metod for 4 years and its perfect, but sometimes is better to tap it with the other side, I mean with parts upside. The parts are jumping off and tin stays down on the board... ;-)
What temperature do you use? and how close do you put the heat gun to the PCB?
