Using ChipQuik to Desolder Surface Mount Components 

Wow and WOW! I'M SO GLAD I CAME ACROSS THIS!! Thank you.

The main component that produces a low melting point is bismuth, actually. A lead-free version is available.

i dig the production values on all your videos :)

Thanks for the vid. This stuff looks like it would make removal a lot easier.

Beautiful!

This is very good!

Thanks for the info! I like this idea better than another one I just saw of blowing a hot air gun over the chip which seems far too dangerous to me and would likely damage other neighboring components in the process...

sei un genio complimenti.....

What solder wire from chipquik good that looks shiny chrome what the specs or ingredient have to choose not the cheap looks fade

but then the ic's gonna have all its legs soldered?? is there anyway to take out the ic fully preserved?

Hey Thanks for this video :)

How do I know if I need the lead-free version for a device from 2004? Also, what wattage is your iron? Thanks, great vid!

Can this be used on EPROMS that are soldered through holes in a board?

THANKS!

Thanks I like it

holy crap, I have to have that

Wow, that was great, I see your out of stock on your web-site, I need to remove a chip from my graphics card, this would be great

hi, where can i get bismuth?

Hi being an electrochemical tech I figured out why ChipQuik works. Simply add bismuth to any solder while the solder it is molten and the total melting point can go as low as 195 degrees F. This costs near nothing! bismuth is cheap!. John

Now how do you solder it back in....I've heard of people using a toaster oven.

Thanks for this informative video. It is quite strange, though, to hear you say sodder when you mean solder.

This product has many of the properties of Gallium, And the price also reflects, They seem to guard the ingredients closely, Does any one have a MSDS for ChipQuik? I use it at work for removing 80 pin heeaders and through hole CPU sockets. It Saves us the Cost of a new PC board!

What wattage soldering iron should be used for this?

I guess the alloy is Rose's metal. Wood's metal would have a lower melting point, but contains cadmium.

@clone4crwproductions This is exactly what this product excels at. One technique is to hold the still-hot IC with tweezers and tap the tweezers on a table to shake off the remaining solder. This works because the chipquik keeps it molten so long. You can also use a bit of solder wick to get any remaining solder.

Maybe it's because the "L" in the word solder is silent. Do you also pronounce the letter L in the word "walk", or "talk", or "could" or "would", or "half"? (I could go on with many more examples).

"Do not teach physics and chemistry at school - and the whole world will be filled with magic and sorcery!" The alloy is called either "Rose's alloy" (melting point 90-95 °), or Wood's alloy (melting point 65 °)! Both are LEAD! Plus Wood's alloy also contains Cadmium - a poisonous metal. much more dangerous than lead! Alternatively, this is "Fields' Alloy" - bismuth + tin + indium. But the price of such an alloy will be ORDER higher than those of Wood and Rose.

Maybe it's because we don't speak the Queen's English unless you are from the UK :)

The English spelling originally did not have an -l-, so there was no such letter to pronounce. The fusible alloy was spelled soudur. In the 18th century, our friends the hypercorrectionists decided that these and other words (like salmon) should show their Latin origins. Solidus was Latin for the joining agent, so doesn’t it make perfect sense to graft an -l- into the English words? Not really. The spelling was forcibly changed, but the original pronunciation lived on.

wow...that´s great because i know how to delete the chip..
