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.
