'Just curious: What method did you use?
For example, did you insulate the rest of the board from the heat in any way? Did you warm the board first so that rapid expansion wouldn't crack any components? Did you use a conductor to focus to the heat on the specific spot that you wanted to heat up? How did you ensure that the softened solder would flow into the joint?
This seems to be the original story... which technique did you follow?
