Fast removal of FBT's Was: De-soldering ICs with a hot air gun.

Just had to tell someone - I got a bright idea to remove a flyback
transformer using a paint stripper gun.

AMAZING. Had that FBT out of there in about 40 seconds - no need to fight
the thing clearing eyelets, etc.

Done it twice now. Works great. Surely someone here has done this, But I
work with a couple really experienced TV techs and they hadn't thought of it
before...

I would recommend watching out for any nearby SMD's, though...
