Fw: [Elecraft] What is this stuff??

[Brett gazdzinski]

The way I remove most parts, is to use a solder sucker to get
most of the solder out of the joint, then I wiggle the pin till its loose
and then remove it.
If that does not work, I heat it and pry/pull from the top side.

I removed all my toroids to unwind a turn 
(worked better before I removed a turn) without the slightest
damage to anything.

I have taken some big IC chips out this way, but its really slow...

I think almost everyone has to remove a part at some point
or another....and I don't see a problem with regular solder,
the last thing I would want is a higher melting temp.
