How to Use a Hot Air Rework Station
Other Uses
Rework isn't the only thing a hot-air rework station is good for. Other uses include:
- Salvaging electronic components from old PCBs.
- Reflowing solder paste applied with a stencil between SMD components and a PCB.
- Shrinking heat-shrink to secure wire connections.
- Heating up and bending certain plastics (with the correct settings).
- Heating up hot glue to remove or reposition items that were glued incorrectly.
