Crossover, point-to-point mods


A point-to-point speaker crossover board. Components mounted to fibreboard with a glue gun.

Anyone have tricks for removing the dabs of glue under the components for replacing these parts?

Thinking a soldering iron with a broad, flat tip. Or an Xacto knife.

TIA for any experience.

Using a soldering gun will probably produce toxic or near toxic fumes. I would simply try using a sturdy scraper with a beveled edge. You can probably wedge the beveled edge up underneat the glue and scrape / pry the part and glue off in one motion. Most of the time, the glue ( actually molten plastic ) is relatively brittle and make break apart in chunks. Sean
