I saw you have a heat gun, which when i asked Chatgpt said it would work for soldering on some components. But it strongly recommended a hot air station, i saw Youtube videos how they do it with a heat gun, so i trust it works. I want to make a transparent flexible PCB version of a guitar pedal I got from Russia that i repaired today.

I believe there is a hot air rework station at the space, and an smd oven too,

I wouldn't use a heat gun as they are too hot and wide

Thanks. I’d need help using it the first time.
