Is it possible to REMOVE hot melt glue from a motherboard?? I would like to
replace a Vartec barrel-type battery that was plunked into a blob of
something and then soldered to the board.

Can high temperature of glue (170 to 200 C) damage PCB?

Hotmelt glue is poured liberally over many types of electronic circuit
boards in a production environment so, No - it's Ok.

Any tips for using hot glue?

Allow plenty of time for the glue gun to warm up - more than you think is
reasonable - otherwise the glue will not stick properly!
Place a newspaper under the glue gun - it will leak stick to the table
when
warm enough!
Whatever you glue must be clean & dry!
