Say 100 plus SMD IC with 8 or so glue spots under Anyone have a successful method of using that hole in the pcb, if present. I force in 2 of the smallest jeweller's blades but I'm not convinced they do much, hoping there is no tracery hidden under. Then 2 wire loops under the IC with tension over them to assist pull off. Freezer spray while letting the hot air gun heat up - for those like me without the "proper" facilities. Anyone make a jig clamp[ed to the board to force a plunger into the hole ? if so how much force expressed per pin or whatever to break or at least strain the glue bond but without mechanically pushing off IC and traces with it
