 It works, according to my own XC95144XL (TQ100)
 experience. 
I'd heard of that, but haven't had the need/guts to try it yet. 
 I draw the line at 100 pins and use a hot air rework tool :-) 
I don't have a proper SMD hot air fab/rework station (though I know a
man who does).  I do have a thermostatically-controlled hot air gun,
and I've used that for a few jobs.  One was almost on-topic:  I removed
two DRAMs from a DIMM and put them on a special one for my 486 laptop,
which didn't have enough memory to even install an old Linux distro.
