maybe im just not patient enough but jesus this boards solder does not melt for shit, i got an fx-888d hakko to 480°C but it doesn’t seem to be enough.
i need to remove the pins to make the board thinner for a project, any ideas?
Which board? Get an La Frite as it’s 12mm already? When you are soldering, the heat can be conducted via the PCB. You also have an oxide layer on the solder that reduce heat conduction.
