Kapton tape has smell, when glue is melting. I really like regular aluminum foil.
My bad to advice wrong temps, definitely for chip re-flow 480C is to extreme.
Just checked my station, i have 420C in my settings for chip re-flow(not a 480C) on Switch.
Also i measured temps on a tip of the nozzle, my multimeter shows 400C with air flow 5.
- There is direct correlation on temps: faster air flows -> colder it becomes when it reaches the point.
- Ambien temps has very huge effect on actual temps at pointed area.
- Quality Flux makes difference.
I think good advice at this point would be to get some broken stuff an practice before trying on actual board.
You have to have feet to the temps and flows. Different setups for different size of the elements you work with.
