Hi Mark, not all solder wicks are same... Not every wick is working well!
I am using them daily in lab and after testing several of different wicks I realized that there are big differencies in suppliers, manufacturers, materials etc. Try to buy solder wick from Plato/TechSpray USA: https://www.techspray.com/p-48-pro-wick-desoldering-braid.aspx and use A De-Soldering Primer by Wayne: http://www.qsotoday.com/n6kr-desolder-primer.html and you will do the job successfully I am sure. If you have problem to find then I can send you the Plato wick reel for free in envelope. 73 - Petr, OK1RP ----- http://ok1rp.blogspot.com -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/Unsoldering-tp7614366p7614464.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
