    As the title states, which method is correct and/or best? I had assumed upside down, though if that is incorrect, please let me know.

    Thanks

    google is your best friend. Right side up, all parts removed minus the actual board. Make sure it is LEVEL (actually MEASURE it in the oven while it is COOL prior to heating it).

    Solder needs to seep back in, so it's gotta be the right temp for the right time.

    YMMV, good luck.

    Heatguns are better. You can actually do a reball with a heatgun if you want.

    Anybody tried using binder clips or something to apply some pressure on the core while baking?
