Your dexterity is absolutely incredible. These "simple" shapes you make with such small amounts of wire are amazing (not only the ones in this video, but others as well like the DIY solder heat shrink thingies and how you join wires together so neatly).
Hi , thank you for your comment, much appreciated. I'm glad you enjoy the videos and hopefully they can help people to try new things . With practice we can all improve , that's what I kept telling myself anyway . Thanks again for your support of my channel , take care 👍
Patience. More easily said than done. Great tutorial. Thanks.
Hi , thank you for your comment, much appreciated. I'm glad you enjoyed the video , hopefully it can help a few people out with their soldering issues. Thanks again , take care 👍
Love your channel! It's a really great idea to have a channel that is dedicated to different soldering techniques! My hands are not as steady these days due to chronic pain and I am blinded in one eye due to a retina detachment that needs surgery and your channel here helps me greatly in being more efficient in soldering. Doing electronics and PC work is all I have these days to help me keep a positive outlook at very bad times for me and I do not want to loose this ability. Thanks bro, I am most definitely subscribed!! Be well!!! 😁😁👍👍
Hi , thank you for your comment, much appreciated. I'm glad my videos have managed to help you out a little , that's great to hear. I will always post more videos when I get spare time . I just try to cover lots of different things from the world of soldering , hopefully they are useful to a few people . Thanks again , and good luck with all of your soldering projects in the future, take care 👍
Sometimes, a random video comes across the line that makes you sit back and wonder why everyone doesn't do this. Absolutely brilliant and what a master skill to possess. In utter awe.
Hi , thank you for your comment, very much appreciated. I'm glad you enjoyed the video , this method really works well if done correctly, and is great because you can remove many different connectors without a hot air station ( which not everyone owns ) , thanks again , take care 👍
Watching your videos is like watching ASMR. It is soothing for the soul! Keep up the good work.
Hi , thank you for your comment, much appreciated. I'm glad you enjoy the videos . I will always post new ones whenever I get some spare time, but sometimes I'm a bit busy so my postings aren't too frequent . Thanks again for supporting my channel, take care 👍
I seen your new video in my feed and said HELL YEAH! I agree, Take your time and be patient. People that do this sort of work and are impatient wind up spending more time fixing mistakes than anything else.
I wonder how much time and frustration your teaching has saved me!
Hi , thank you for your support of my channel. I'm glad the videos have been useful for you. Good luck with all of your soldering projects in the future, thanks again 👍
Brilliantly simple and well executed! Thank you for sharing this!
Hi , thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. This method really does work well and can be used on many different connectors . I have hot air guns , solder pumps etc but sometimes this method plus solder wick is definitely an easier , safer way . Thanks again , take care 👍
Just tried this on a 24p header and it came out so easily I was startled! Made my day!
Hi , thank you for your comment, much appreciated. I'm glad the method worked so well for you , it has got me out of trouble a fair few times , and I really love how simple it is. Thanks again , take care 👍
I've had nightmares trying to take these kind of connectors out for years. (EE for nearly 25 years) Can't wait to try your technique out above on my next big connector. Great video.
Hi , thank you for your comment , much appreciated. I personally own a Quick 861DA rework station but would still use this wire method instead of that at certain times . If your board for instance is conformally coated then you shouldn't use hot air as it affects nearby joints very badly ( the solder balls up on these joints ) , that's one example when this wire method is great . Thanks again , good luck with all of your soldering projects in the future 👍
Nice. As an additional tip for hole clearing: I, sometimes, use a bulb from an ear wax removal kit to blow air through the back side - fast and reliable.
Hi , thank you for your comment. I love these tips people like yourself pass on , they can help everyone who comes on here , even myself . Many thanks for your idea , , thanks again 👍
Foxtrot Yankee! Excellent procedure! Greetings from New Mexico!
Hi , thank you for your comment , very much appreciated. I'm glad you enjoyed the video, hopefully it can help a few people out with their desoldering issues. Thanks again , take care 👍
Thanks for the time and work you put in. I an old hand been soldering most of my life but learned something new .
Hi , thank you for your support , much appreciated. I've never seen this method shown anywhere but it really does work well . I have rework stations etc but will often choose this method as its better for the surrounding area on the pcb Thanks again , take care 👍
Half of the challenge is knowing that it *can* be done. Thanks for the inspiration.
Hi , thank you for your comment. If I can help anyone with these videos then I'm happy . I'm glad you enjoy them and thank you for your support 👍
I have just subscribed.Very clever way to do this I can say after destroying a couple of boards myself with no patience and way too much aggressive pressing with the iron. I look forward to checking out the rest of your videos,cheers
Hi , thank you for your comment and subscribing , much appreciated. This method really does work well for multiple types of similar connectors. I own a hot air rework station but still much prefer this wire method for many connectors as it is pretty quick and is restricting the heat just to the dedicated connector area rather than pumping a large volume of potentially damaging heat into the nearby area . Thanks again , take care 👍
Thanks so much. You are so ingenious and make life easier for countless people (like me) who are faced with these kinds of problems often
Hi , thank you for watching , much appreciated. I realise not everyone owns hot air rework stations etc , so if I can help these people out then that's great , plus this method really is good , I choose it quite often over hot air when I'm reworking boards as hot air can damage close by parts if not careful . Thanks again for your time , take care 👍
Thank you! I have been wondering about a simple technique for doing this. The hole cleanup technique is great too.
Hi , thank you for watching the video. It's a great technique and is actually really easy . I have a great Quick 861DA rework station , and loads of solder braid but their are certain times when this wire method beats them hands down . Some people disagree but I don't believe they are very knowledgeable about soldering if they just dismiss this method . Thanks again 👍
great ,i thought you just doing it to fool everyone till i saw that coming , at the end you got a great work bro thank you for sharing such great ideas.
Hi , thank you for your comment , much appreciated. This method really works . Definitely helped me out when I had a conformally coated board and couldn't use a hot air rework station . Many other times I've used it successfully as well . Just another option for people especially those who aren't lucky enough to own a rework station . Thanks again , take care 👍
Innovative, inventive, genius ! The solder wick / flux training here is on it's own worth it's weight in gold. I have ditched the solder sucker. No comparison.
Hi , thank you for your comment , much appreciated. I'm glad you enjoyed the video, hopefully a few people can benefit from it . I'm pleased you liked the flux / braid idea it really is amazing and works so much better than manual solder pumps in my opinion. Thanks again , take care 👍
Nice technique. I like to use soldering iron with "vacuum" (desoldering iron) or just some low-melt solder (e.g. SMD1-NL). The latter can get quite expensive, and needs careful cleaning afterwards but has saved many boards
Hi , thank you for your comment, much appreciated. I own hot air stations etc , but still prefer this wire method in lots of situations as it's a lot safer for the surrounding components .
Sadly these vacuum desolder stations are very expensive.
Great job, man! Thanks for sharing. I'll definitely use it!
Hi , thank you for your comment . This does work well and can be used on many different connectors . I personally have a hot air gun but still prefer this method for getting these sorts of connectors out . Done properly it's pretty easy and doesn't take long to do . Thanks again for your support 👍
I just stumbled across this and have been putting off a repair that I will need to remove this connector for; looking forward to trying it now 😀 Thanks so much.
Hi , thank you for your comment, much appreciated. Hopefully the method can help you out . I've used it lots of times with great results . Thanks again and good luck 👍
#1 tip always "be patient" - thanks for this demo, brilliant
Hi , thank you for your comment, much appreciated. Hopefully the video can help a few people out . Thanks again , take care 👍
Man i love your videos, you've helped my soldering skills so much in little time, of course more practice is essential, but man its so nice. I just watch them at my down time at work and I already feel much more confident. I recently got back into it while getting in to microcontrollers/programming arduino and raspberry pis. And now try to reach my goal of making some musical fx and synthesizers. Really feels great knowing these tricks and tips to improve and cleanup my soldering!
Hi , thank you for your comment , very kind of you . I'm glad you enjoy the videos and they have been useful for you , that's great to hear . If I can help anyone then I'm happy . I will always post more videos when I get some spare time . Thanks again and good luck with all of your soldering projects in the future , take care 👍
Ive tried everything. Sucker abd wick still leave tiny amount of solder. Hot air melts the plastic. Just tried this and magic. Thanks you life saver!

I am learning so much from your videos! Thank you!!
Hi , thank you for watching the video's, very much appreciated. I'm glad I've been able to help you 👍
Back in the late 70s, we used propane torches to heat a PC board till the solder melted, and a sharp rap of the board on a bucket would dislodge the components, and the bucket would catch them. This was great for depopulating a PC board of ALL components. Today, I use a small butane torch and only do a small area of a board, but it ends up damaging the board, badly, so it is unusable later. However, if I need to remove a component, and replace it in the board, I use a proper solder extraction tool. Over the years I have used many different styles, from the squeeze bulb, the spring powered "PULLET" type, to motorized vacuum extractors by Weller and others, and the temperature controlled, motorized extractors are the best, and today, you can get a combination solder/desolder station around $100 that will do an excellent job. The reason for the temperature controlled station, is due to the PC board delaminating if you overheat the tracks and vias. If delamination happens, you risk intermittent operation in the future. Then you have to troubleshoot the problem, and install a wire to repair the intermittent open circuit. With the proper extraction tool, I have removed connectors with over 100 contacts, as well as other components with multiple solder joints. With practice, you develop a feel of when the solder was melted to be extracted by the tool. And once you begin to get the feel for the tool, it gets very easy to use!
Genius! Thank You, Mister! 🤩

Brilliant as ever, daunting jobs made easy, cheers 👍
Hi , thank you for your support, much appreciated. I know how hard it normally is to get these sorts of connectors out , I just came up with this method to make my life easier . Hopefully if people like the method they will try it and it can help them out . Thanks again for your time , take care 👍
Thx for all the tips

Clever! And thanks for the wicking tips and demonstration; that was helpful, too.
Hi , thank you for your comment, much appreciated. This method really works well , you just have to ensure all your inner joints have the wire close to them so all joints are melted at the same time . I'm glad the braiding tips were useful to you as well . Thanks again , take care 👍
@@mrsolderfix3996 not sure I've seen you demonstrate this solder braid technique before. at least, i don't recall seeing that distance of solder wicking up a braid on ANY video i've ever seen.. When I was new to soldering and didn't have much for tools I struggled quite a bit with clearing solder from vias. Many help resources don't mention adding flux to the via or, especially, to the wick. That was something I ended up figuring out on my own. I have never seen or achieved that level of wicking or seen a really great demonstration like you've shown here. It's clear that even after all this time I'm not using enough flux on my braid and not far enough up the braid. This process is easier to show on video than to describe in text. Might want to make a video specifically about clearing vias with wick (both with and without components). I now use a vacuum desolderer, but still have to be very careful not to damage the board. amazing video as usual.
Hi , I will try and do a solder braid video in the near future , thank you for the suggestion 👍
Thank you for sharing that with us. Hands down the best method to desolder
Hi , thank you for watching and commenting much appreciated. There are various ways to remove connectors etc , i.e hot air , solder sucker , but this really is a good method . I have hot air stations etc but still choose this on lots of occasions as it's simple and safe. Thanks again , take care 👍
@@mrsolderfix3996I wish my solder sucker had a soft, silcon lip - it can really jump/slide around when the trigger's pressed.
Back to my old job repairing semi pro digital cameras, excellent technique.
Hi , thank you for your comment, very much appreciated 👍
Subbed from this video, been soldering since I was about 14 and multi through hole were always a pain, this looks so easy compared to trying to use a pump.
Hi , thank you for your comment, much appreciated. Glad you enjoyed the video . I own hot air rework stations etc but this method really is preferable in certain situations and is pretty easy . I agree through hole rework used to be a pain but not now . Thanks again , take care 👍
I've been soldering and desoldering occasionally for over 50 years, and the most effective use I've seen of a solder pump like mine was as a prop tranquilizer injector in an early Woody Allen film called Sleeper. It was a funny movie, but I was the only one in the theatre who laughed out loud at that particular moment. Great method. Basically, build your own giant custom soldering iron tip. Sure beats running around and around trying to keep everything molten while you wiggle the connector about, tearing pads off.
@@scottwilling5315 I'll have to try and find that scene, it's always funny seeing items the average person would not recognise being used as a prop. For me, the worst part of using a pump is where even when you think every pin is free, you pull the part to find a via attached to a pin.
@@welshdave5263 Yeah that's the moment you think "uh, is this a multi-layer board?" My record for successful multi-pin connector removal began when an aquaintence asked if I would build him a "Nintoaster" which turns out to be a Nintendo game console repackaged into a toaster so that the cartridge plugs into one of the toast slots.
@@scottwilling5315 Very true! Thankfully none of them were, I would always solder top and bottom pads of dual layer boards after a replacement, just to be sure. That Nintoaster sounds amusing, I remember seeing a George Foreman fit into a PS3 housing.
Nicely done. Thanks for sharing
Hi , thank you for your comment, much appreciated 👍
Thanks a ton! I managed to replace the broken USB port on a photocopier/MFP at work with this method. Solder sucker was useless. Now people can print again :)
Hi , thank you for watching the video and commenting , very much appreciated . I'm glad the video was of use for you , that's great to hear . Thanks again , take care 👍
Excellent method mate. Takes lots of solder, but in all effective to remove the component intact.
Hi , thank you for your comment. This method does work well . Some people believe braiding out the holes first is the way to go or a heat gun . I have rework stations etc but will still choose this method above them at certain times . When you have tiny pads as these joints have I will NEVER use a braid first before the components dropped out as you will easily damage the pads. Thanks again 👍
Simple and powerful! Thanks
Hi , thank you for your comment. This method really is good , and is a lot safer than trying to wick out all the solder beforehand which is near impossible to do causing barrel damage when removing the connector. Also hot air guns ( which I do own ) pump in lots of unwanted heat into surrounding components potentially causing problems with these i.e. plastic bodied parts so the wire method is safer as well at times. Thanks again , take care👍
Amazing! I would have never thought to add MORE solder when using the wick
Exactly. That and the flux. Helps make the job go better.
That worked very well, good job sir!
Hi , thank you for supporting my channel. This method really does work and can be used on multiple types of through hole connectors , IC's , relays etc. Thanks again , take care 👍
I really like watching you show all these great ways to remove components from boards. They do seem to use a lot of solder. Do you have any recommendations on what solder I should be using fore this? There seem to be endless variations available.
Great video ,thanks for sharing.
Hi , thank you for watching the video and commenting , much appreciated . Hopefully the video can help a few people out with their desoldering issues . Thanks again , take care 👍
Excellent job, thanks for sharing.
Hi , thank you for your comment , much appreciated. This method really does work well , I've personally used it many times even though I have hot air rework stations available. Thanks again , take care 👍
Awsome trick! Thanks!
Hi , thank you for watching the video and commenting, much appreciated. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I've personally used this method a few times with great success so I know it works . Hopefully it can help a few other people out with their desoldering issues. Thanks again , take care 👍
Thankyou! I've struggled so many times before :)
Hi , thank you for your comment, much appreciated. This method really does work well , and is better and safer than a hot air rework station or solder braid at times which I do own. Thanks again 👍
Thanks for sharing experience. 💗
Hi , thank you for your comment, much appreciated. Hopefully this can help a few people out as it really is a great method 👍
Great work! Thank's!
Hi thank you for your comment , much appreciated 👍
Thanks. Good work.
Hi , thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. It really is a useful method as some multi pin connectors are quite daunting when you look at trying to remove them . Thanks again and good luck with all of your future soldering projects 👍
Thx. Love the vids. You can alternately do this: With braid or desoldering gun, clear all the best you can. There will always be a couple that won't give up, so solder a copper strand to the stubborn ones. Iron to the strand until they give up and let go. Cheers!
Hi , thank you for your comment and for watching the videos , very much appreciated 👍
Heat gun would work?
@@TheRainHarvester , I would say YES if it has a very focused nozzle. A SMD hot air station would do it. Use Flux to conduct heat where you want it most, and protect any vacinity parts that might be adversely affected.
use a copper wire strand, clean it using vinegar and salt first then it will suck up all the solder with some flux.
Nice method. I've used many different types of component removal as a circuit board repair tech. This method is nice and neat. I fou d that using the lower melting point solders that contain Bismuth. I think it is sold as Chip-quick (s). Cut the solder into tiny "chips". Place the chip along with flux onto the pins with your soldering iron. This allows you to use a much lower temperature to remove the component. Make sure to remove the solder with the solder braid after the part is removed. If you use hot air, you risk the chance of blowing off nearby components. George B
Hi , thank you for your comment, much appreciated. I'm glad you liked the method , it really does work well . Thanks again , take care 👍
Been doing this with connectors for a long time, works well
Hi , thank you for your comment. I'm glad you agree about the method , some people disagree but that's their opinion . I know I will certainly be using this method many times in the future where a hot air gun shouldn't be used . Thanks again 👍
Nicely done!
Hi , thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. It really is a great method which I've used a lot to remove connectors where a hot air gun wasn't suitable , hopefully the method can help a few people out. Thanks for watching and commenting, take care 👍
Thanks! Brilliant!

Hi , thank you for your support of my channel , very much appreciated. If I can help some people out with their soldering problems then i am happy . Regards from England 👍
I enjoy every single video you make (it seems that I've seen almost all of them). Besides your vast knowledge that we all see when using your tools with a steady pulse and extreme precision, can you tell me what do you use to get such crisp image on video😂? (excellently lit btw) I though it was a cellphone but I've seen that you Zoom in/out and it doesn't move at all, its always perfectly on focus, amazing! 😊 Is it a digital microscope? A DSLR camera? Keep on doing this excellent videos, please!
Thank you, that trick is super useful
Hi , thank you for watching the video , very much appreciated. It's definitely been useful for me this method . I own a great hot air rework station but would still use this method at certain times . If for instance your board had conformal coat covering the components you can't use hot air on conformally coated boards so this wire method is perfect then . Thanks again , take care 👍
Brillant, I was just last night trying to remove a slider pot from a kenwood radio that has a LOT of thermal mass, no dice, it was impossible, I will try your method, thank you
Hi , thank you for your comment. If you take your time and set the connector up so that the wires attach all pins , patience , and you should be fine . I've used this method many times and it's better in my opinion than trying to suck all the solder out first , or a hot air gun ( which I do own ) and I've always been successful. Good luck , hope you get on ok , thanks again 👍
Brilliant idea. I've seen a similar method for desoldering SMD SO packages - I just can't remember where or who. Bend a thick copper wire into a rectangle that fits exactly on top of the flat part of the legs.
Hi , thank you. This method really does work well for multiple types of connectors . Personally I much prefer it to using hot air ( which I do own ) as it puts the heat into a specified area whereas hot air can spread easily to nearby components sometimes causing problems . Thanks again for your time , take care 👍
Awesome thanks G easiest method I've found ..
Hi , thank you for your comment , much appreciated. I've used this method on a fair few multi pin connectors ( where a heat gun wasn't suitable ) , and I've always had good results . Hopefully this method can help a few people out with their desoldering issues. Thanks again , take care 👍
Thank you.. thats an awesome method..
Hi , thank you for your comment. This method really works and the best thing is all you need is a soldering iron ( no rework station ) so it's available for everyone to do . Thanks again , take care 👍
After watching all your fabulous videos. I have a challenging project i have been facing. I was wanting to get some advice from a master de-soldering expert. I have a hard drive that i want to replace the power and data connector on. The problem is there are 4 connectors that need to be un-soldered. The connectors are of differing styles and all are mounted to a plastic rail. I have some photos i can send. If you could demo how to do it would make an excellent video. Thanks from a long time viewer.
Nice technique!
Hi , thank you. Hopefully this amazing method can help people out . I personally know a fair few people now who I've showed it to who have loved it . Thanks again for your support , take care 👍
I've used that method in the past but once I bought a hot-air station, I'll never go back. But if you can't justify the price of de-soldering equipment, then this is the best way to go. Of course, you need a soldering iron with enough wattage to heat that much solder. Nice video.
Hi , thank you for your comment, much appreciated. I personally own a Quick 861DA rework station but my own preference at times is definitely to do this wire method . I just judge each situation when I get to it and choose what I believe is best for the board. But I do still love my rework station at times . Thanks again for your time , take care 👍
I don't like the heatgun either, too much heat into parts that dont need it. I made an induction heater to use with a thick steel plate as an infrared source, works good for that
Hi , thank you for your comment and for mentioning what you made , sounds good. I love hearing other suggestions from people , the more we hear the more ideas we can all learn from . Thanks for your support , take care 👍
Great video. I have never thought of doing this. A good method for model railways which is the focus of my channel, Thanks for uploading.
Hi , thank you for your comment, much appreciated. This method really does work well for many different connectors , hopefully it can help a few people out. Thanks again , take care 👍
Yeah I can see that would help someone who is not a very experienced solderer ..... I don't have a Hakko electric pump gun , but I have 25 years behind the bench .... My Vampire tool aka SS Engineer made in Japan is the best hand pump I've ever used . It will unsolder those harder double side boards... I wouldn't have thought of that idea , Kudos to you Mon Ami...
Thanks for the tips.
Hi , no problem . Glad you enjoyed the video 👍
This job you showed takes a lot of solder @ lead 🤔😜😆
Hi , well worth it though if it gets your part out the board . If your board has conformal coating then this methods great as you shouldn't use hot air on coated boards and solder wicking tiny pads like these should be done after dropping the part out . You can now see why this method is great in my opinion 👍
Great idea !!! very useful method ! Thanks~~
Hi , thank you for your comment, I'm glad you enjoyed the video 👍
Well done!
Hi , thank you for your comment, much appreciated. This method really is great and can be used on many different components . Thanks again , take care 👍
Great stuff!
Hi , thank you for your comment, much appreciated. This method really does work, I have personally used it a fair few times when a hot air station wouldn't have been suitable. Thanks again 👍
Thank you for all of your awesome videos dude! Can I ask, what flux(s) do you use when you work? Want to find good reliable stuff for my own work. Tia and keep up the great work!
Grazie mille per il Tutorial 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Ive got a Cooler Master HAF-X case with a small PCB on the front header. The USB Ports are physically damaged and the ports need replacing. Will try this method when I get around to doing it.
i found my solder sucker very annoying. using your methods is relaxing and fun. i just fixed some headphones. i will try your method to remove an IC next

The whole thing with wire transferring heat has a great many applications. I can see I'll need to break out my round-nose pliers and practice these techniques on some old scrap boards just to get comfortable with them. (And I'm definitely going to need a bigger tip for my iron.)
thank you nice video !!!

Brilliant Mate, you sharing techniques is helping me a lot, just one this if you could I am just about to replace my older soldering iron please suggest me model or let me know which one you use. Once again many thanks Matt
Hi , thank you for watching the video and commenting , very much appreciated . The soldering iron I use in all of my videos is quite an old school type of iron , a Weller TCP S , 50 watt iron and the 2 types of tips I always use are a PTP7 ( small conical ) , and a DD8 ( large flat sided ) . With the conical one before I first use them I shape them into a finer point using a needle file and fine emery cloth which these tips do allow , which not everyone agrees with , but you can do it for this irons tips . I also use a micro size Metcal iron which is amazing but very expensive so not really for a hobbyist but for a serious solderer definitely worth getting , I love this iron but have not shown it in use in my videos as it's not really within people's budgets . So I would personally recommend Weller as a brand to go for . Pretty expensive but they are reliable and always do a great job if used correctly. All come with multiple tip choices. I know a lot of KZheadrs use Hakko but don't know much about them so can't really comment . They are a lot cheaper and people seem to like them going by KZhead comments . Hope that helps but it is hard as there is so many out there to choose from . Just avoid the dirt cheap models from China . Thanks again , take care 👍

Recently destroyed a board by trying to remove a bad 3PDT switch for replacement. This would have been the right way to do it. Thank you!!!
Hi , thank you for your comment, much appreciated. This really is a great method and can be used on multiple connectors and multi pin devices. Lots of people seem infatuated with hot air rework stations , solder suckers etc ( which I do own ) but at times this is a better , safer solution . Thanks again , take care 👍
Perfect

that was bloody good
Hi , thank you for your comment, much appreciated. This method has proved very successful for me and others I know . It can get you out of difficult situations when trying to remove multi pin connectors . I personally love this removal option . Thanks again , take care 👍
Amazing 😍
Hi , thank you for your comment, much appreciated. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. This method really does work well , as we know getting multi pin connectors out is very difficult, if done carefully this makes it achievable for hobbyists with only a soldering iron . Thanks again , take care 👍
good work!

Subbed!!! 😁
Hi , thank you, very much appreciated 👍
I just tried this on a scrap board and it worked amazingly well even done slapdash as an experiment in less than 5 minutes. I'll be getting some thick gauge solid plumbing or stained glass solder to keep on the bench just to make little solder swimming pools since the only downside is it took quite a bit of my usual 0.6mm stuff to fill it up.
Hi , thank you for your comment, much appreciated. I'm glad you tried it and were successful. I've used it to get many multipin devices out of boards before , with great results . I have hot air rework stations etc but there are many occasions when I would choose this method as its a lot kinder to the rest of the board . Thanks again , take care
Could also use waste solder from solder pumps or your iron cleaner, maybe sections of old wick too. And keep the old bits of solder soaked wire for the next job. Just have to add a bit more flux or rosin to replace the stuff you would normally get from fresh wire.
Good job.
