Anyone had any experience doing BGAs with hot air jets? The tutorials on

Very tempting.
I wouldn't trust a hot air machine with an expensive bga part. I see the
irda machines are getting cheaper - not sure as to the quality of these new
machines. But that method is much preferred. I see several repair houses
already using them - so a small assembly line is also possible.
