      I managed to damage a NDSi board that I was trying to repair partly because I was making this mistake (and also trying to fix what I believed was a solder bridge when it was actually that the two pads were connected to the same trace). Now I'm having to run patch wires to create pads that no longer exist.

    I think some people are mentioning other components flying away in the work area. I noticed he had an angled nozzle that allows him to get under the microscope while still allowing the air to blow down on components. If you angle the hot air too much so that it comes in from the side, it tends to lift smaller components.

    I'm a watchmaker getting into micro soldering. When I went through school we would practice just moving tiny little watch screws one by one from one box to the next. Sometimes you need to be able to grab a screw from the middle of the head, or turn the tweezers 180 degrees while still holding the screw and not having it fire out into who knows where. After a while it's all second nature but practicing in the beginning is invaluable. Also, make sure to buy good quality tweezers and keep the tips finished. The extra $30 you spend now will save you a lot of time hunting for parts later.

    As an occasional hot air station user I just kapton tape the area just incase I accidentally blow/knock some nearby components out of place. :P Probably using too much heat/air flow tho.
    Also taking the time to preheat the board before getting in to solder helps alot when theres a lot of copper on it that will act as a heatsink. You dont want to be ripping components out of the PCB in your frustration.

    I never had this issue even when I was new to soldering. It seems like common sense that you want to make sure your component can lay flat against the board so you'd need to be sure not to have your tweezers tips clasping all of the way across a cap like that. lol

    I'm about to buy my first hot air station. I wanted to know the nuance's BEFORE I get it. This video is freaking perfect. Your personality is perfect. You cover things in such detail but in a way that's fun and keeps attention easily. Thanks Louis. My kids are both aspiring engineers and we watch ALL of your videos together (11 boy & 15 girl).

    Thanks a lot, am from St Catharines (Ontario Canada).
    I've been a PC tech for years, but have no training in circuit level repair, but you have inspired me for a couple years now, to want try it.
    Soldering has been a challenge, but I want to get it right.
    I've acquired some equipment now. (But lots more is needed, a fume suction device and especially a scope, since my eyesight, has degraded recently)
    Lately I repaired two large monitor power supplies and replaced some laptop LCDs successfully.
    Have a Samsung note and two P20 pro screens to replace. A Lenovo G580 power button issue to resolve, and many other projects.
    I'm not making any money doing it. Am just trying hard to learn.
    I have a friend of my father's, that has an electronic repair shop here in the Niagara region. He's been in business over 3 decades now. But he wants to retire. He casualty asked me if I was interested in getting into it, but I think I still have ways to go. I still have my current bilingual tech support job, taking up the bulk of my time....But I'd love to sever ties one day, with financial institution I do work for.... Being independent would be great. ;-)

    Hey Louis, just so you know. These soldering videos you make are not in vain. First came here in 2019-2020 for your insight as a business owner, and cool e-bike trips around NYC. Stayed for the "man rants at NY real estate", and when I need to unsolder and resolder a EEPROM E93C66 I came back here to you looking for proper advice on using hot air stations, since I've bought one for 60 dollars (didn't have much more, it has that old style heating element separate from the soldering tip)
