i've been soldering small things every now and then, but now i ran into bitchy problem:
i was about to desolder an pot that has been attaced to the PCB with soldering also the "hands" on the sides to the PCB (see the pic, similar thing).
at the end i just wasn't able to to suck all the tin off from these. somehow they were covered with a chunk of tin and at the end the tin didn't even melt anymore but the pot was getting super hot. now it's completely stuck and i'm afraid that i damage rest of the stuff on the PCB with heating it too much. am i forced to take that pot off mechanically (NO!!)? what the hell should i do?
