It does melt at a low temperature and stays melted for a very long time, so that part is fine. It just doesn't seem to want to mix easily with the solder, so eventhough I applied plenty of it all the way around and it was sticking to all the CPU pins, which meant the solder should have melted when I applied it, it still wouldn't budge.
I had to use the good ol' heat blower for over 5 mins before the CPU wanted to come off.
I don't know what makes this 'Woodmetal' different from Chipquik. Any ideas?
