A lady I once dated used to build PC boards for extra money. She had a
muffin fan next to the "work", with a filter on the "intake" side. It was
amazing how much flux it picked up, and other debris as well. Then again,
she built a LOT of PC boards.
I use a good old Weller soldering gun (also have a HUGE Wen for bigger jobs)
that I use on boatanchor stuff, accompanied with a "Soldapullit" solder
sucker. Between the pair, I can clean out nearly anything. When replacing
bypass caps to ground, I seldom desolder the ground side IF it goes to the
chassis. I simply make a very good connection to the 'stub' to ground, and
thereby don't "uglify" the chassis.
Common sense is the order of the day. Do ONE component at a time, take pix
with a digicam (if you have one) FIRST, and use your head.
