Harvey S.: Ready fluxed solder wick ready to use works very well

Luca Barattini: Metto 4 stelle dato che sono alle prime armi con la treccia dissaldante, effettivamente sul campo è veramente piccola e non è sempre facile rimuovere tracce di stagno da punti di saldatura non proprio minuscoli. Quello che riscontro è tuttavia una non propensione a catturare lo stagno presente su pcb a meno di non passare ripetutamente (utilizzando flussante e un poco di stagno sulla punta del saldatore).
Da provare sezioni maggiori di questa treccia, ma quando le operazioni vengono fatte bene su pubti di saldatura piccoli il suo lo fa.

Non va bene per rimuovere troppo stagno a meno di non volerci perdere troppo tempo.

Ralph Reilly: When "sucking" is good. Wicks up the hot solder a treat. Recommended.

RS: Solder braid... does what is expected. I used it up and bought a large quantity

Art Dad: Does it work? Yes. Does it work well? It depends on the user's skill set. If you're a beginner, youtube is your friend. Seriously. It's a simple concept: The solder you want to remove is absorbed by the braid when heat is applied on the braid (capillary action?) Easier said than done. Some factors to contend with is how old is the solder, is it lead or lead free? Again, youtube how this works beofre commiting.

Mac: If you’ve never used desoldering braid, you’ve got to give it a try. It is so much easier than trying to use the suction bulb or the trigger action solder sucker. What is your soldering iron is hot all you have to do is place the braid over the solder you want to remove, then press the hot tip of the soldering iron on top of that it , and in just a few seconds the solder is drawn into the braid. If there’s a wire solder that you have to remove you might need to pick up and move the braid a couple times to get it all.

SashaSasha: Here not a many words I want need to say. Excellent product! Work flawless for me. But for all of you who interested, just look at pic. Product Made in Japan. Of course, you all know what mean Japan quality in world of electronic industry... It really surprised me.. Was expected some cheap China trash.. for price in that range.

kevin_a: (Revised Post)
Found out what I was doing wrong (see below); I had a crappy $8 soldering iron. Once I purchased a legitimate soldering station (which wasn't that expensive after all), I had no trouble picking up excess solder with this wick. While it doesn't remove *all* of the old solder, it removes enough for you to remove components cleanly, and/or create a new solder joint.

Kudos to those who got this product to do anything useful. This was my first experience using solder wick; I tried everything I could think of (altering the tip size of the soldering iron, increasing / decreasing the temp, flux / no flux), but I couldn't get this product to wick. About the only thing I could manage to do was to solder it to the board I was trying to wick solder away from. Is this stuff not intended for working with a soldering iron?
