Desoldering tips on ICs - The Big Oops

2001-04-23 by bruce@sigalarm.com

Well, I need some advice.  First, let me give some. Never let your 
dear wife distract you while building something complicated.

That being said.  In my current build project, MOTM 440 Filter, I have 
managed to get all of the 2220 and 2210 IC's backwards.

I have managed to get one of them unsoldered after about an hours 
worth of work. I have a good solder sucker, but it seems minute 
amounts of solder are still hanging around causing the chip to adhere 
to the board.

Anyone have and good suggestions on how to get the little buggers off?

Thanks

Bruce
