"HOW." are you doing /diy? I've recently given up drinking and a few other vices and hobbies so that I can build a battle station. With my moderate construction knowledge the full room wrap around desk will be hand made. To make it somewhat unique while staying cost effective i would like to lay particle board for the top. Then to save on the clear reain some I would like to desolder and remove any and all parts from several conouter chips and glue them down. Then clear over the. For a hopefully flawless and smooth finish.

My question, assuming I don't care to save any of the parts, what is the best way to go about removing massive amounts of parts without damaging the look of the board?

Solder gun is painfully slow. Small pen torch charrs the boards.

I'm down to a heat gun or possibly and old oven if i can find one.

Any advice?

Pic... i'm not sure if related?

Also, generally cool things made from computer chips, battle station ideas, gear recommendations for a 5 boxxer wow setup with IS boxxer. Newbie mmorpg gear.

heat gun is fastest but you will never clean up the remaining solder

just get a new unpopulated board will be easier and better looking

I use a resistance solderer. It is instant heat through the solder and is safe for components so long as you don't cross the electrodes across points on the component. It also is so fast that heat doesn't destroy the component either even without using needle nose pliers as a heatsink on the legs.

toaster oven. once the solder is liquid take the board out and tap it on concrete

Yeah but a 2 feet deep desk 25 feet long will take a lot. Solder isnt a problem. Dont car too much about it. Just dont want to pour 4 inches deao of $50 a gallon resin. And that's at 55 gallon drum prices. My buddy works at a chemical place and i have a few others on board to buy gallons of resin. Gonna cost a fortune but we have a lot of projects. 110 gallons peobably will go quick.

2 days of feeling sick and shaky and freezing cold sweats.

Then playing video games or any other time waster that keeps you from drinking.

All my friends drink so i drive to the bar and dd. Prople are less pushy when they try and stuff drinks in you and you say no cause youre driving.

After 15 years of chugging vodka and beer every day i gotta say, it's not easy tho.

After watching shameless on netflix i quit...
