i cleaned out my mailbox a bit so i have some room.
I tested this block of amalloy i bought from ebay and it works just as good as chipquik. It really is worthwhile buying this, even if 3 or 4 people split the cost. it is the safest way of removing IC's and multiple pinned components. When you use it you need to put some flux on the component and then just use your soldering iron on the brick to grab some of the alloy to put on the component.. Simple
