This is more of a general question about what temps you set your hot air gun. I just got a new rework station and messed around with it for a bit on a old PCB removing large and small components. I find it easy to damage the PCB. In general I tend to solder pretty hot, anywhere from 300C to 400C and am not having any issues. I don't work much with solid state so my needs are for mostly for tube amps and old radios.
If I need to remove a small relay or opamp for example, is it better to use higher heat or use lower heat and heat things up slowly?
Thanks,
Billy
