Just picked this up to help with work around the shop.  Any of you guys use one of these have some pointers while using one of these?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/YIHUA-992DA-SMD-Hot-Air-Rework-Soldering-Station-with-smoke-absorber-/171357358332?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27e5b1c8fc

I picked it up locally for 105$, thought it was nifty looking and would come in handy.  

Has anyone used something like this for recaps?  I was hoping the hot air gun could help with the surface mount capacitors and tantalum replacements.  I gotta look into solder "paste" I think thats what I should be using.  Like I said, any help would be appreciated!

TIA
