Default reflowing BGA with a hot air gun?

get a piece of foam and make an external intake filter

much easier to clean an external filter

I thought of that but the air enters in multiple places so that ancilliary
hardware gets airflow. Short of sitting it on a full-sized pad of fine-pored
open-cell foam that wraps up the front and sides (and supporting that above
the desk on a grating-type thing) it's not really an option.
