Sure it is, at least with all of the boards I've ever tried this with.

Older through-hole boards, no, of course not. But modern-ish (empeg era and beyond) SMT boards, yeah the components do just drop off under the blast of a heat gun. A few larger components don't, but those are very few.


And if a few larger parts stay on that would be ok it would add visual interest.
