Re Desoldering ic's
We used a special Weller tip. It consisted of metal block (about the same
size and shape as an IC base with holes where the pins would be) attached to
a Weller tip sleeve (ie the part that held the tip to the heating barrel)
On the component side you had a spring loaded clip that exerted even
pressure on the chip away from the board. Apply said tip to the copper side
of the board and the chip came out complete. Then the solder sucker was used
to clear out the holes.

Easy -- coat them with aquadag and then copper-plate

. . . or fire up the punch, and make a batch of chips out of "tin foil"
