HOW CAN YOU REMOVE HOT MELT GLUE FROM A PCB???

[ddstoys]

Hi guys im repairing a WPC driverboard and for some unknown reason they have soldered wires to the back of the GI pins (Which are perfectly fine ) then completely coated the area with hot melt glue...

    Any way  i can remove this so i can neatly unsolder the wires or will i just have to bite the bullet and melt it off with the soldering iron?

careful use of a paint stripper gun??

Funny Dan I've had that on about 3 machines now.  I used a sharp blade just to lift one edge then the whole lot peeled off like a big scab.

Thanks guys will see how I go tonight.

 
    Some of these euro hacks crack me up would have been way easier to just replace the burnt pins ????
