[Elecraft] Unsoldering

[W Paul Mills]

I used solder pooling 40 years ago to remove round 10 lead IC's from the
crowded Motorola HT-220's. Worked great with good technique. Technique
was to dribble it on, until touching all leads, then dip iron in puddle,
and quickly pull. Clean up was easy with a solder sucker.

Chip-Quick is great, because it melts at a low temp. But be careful, if
not careful, it can go 'everywhere'! Been there, done that!
