Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Re: Removing SMDs

2011-07-07 by Mark Mickelsen

Could you please post a link to the picture of the "forked soldering iron
tip".  I looked on site, but didn't see anything with the name "Andrew" or
any cover pictures that looked like it.  I'm probably blind, but I'd like to
see the pictures.
Thanks,
Mark
