yeah i use the heat gun, the hot air re-work does not really have enough heat energy for my liking.
plus i have been using the heat gun before the hot air station over the last year, so i am use to it.. and my arm automatically regulates the heat gun temp for me
Flux… Flux is what balls up the solder an makes it flow like liquid mercury.
you can see my joins here they look nice.

some of the other ram chip joints might look a little hairy, but that is only because was getting lazy and not applying the flux properly.
there is a trick to getting the chip on there… you hold the chip right in line of heat gun so the chip pre heats. then once the pads are liquid you set the chip ont there and if all is well it flows right into place self-centering!
kinda like with the Fill rod when tig welding.
