How to Use Solder Wick for Desoldering (Remove Solder with Wick)

Nice video

Perfect video. Wanted to make sure I wasn't doing things wrong. This is straight and to the point.

how long can this desoldering wick be worn?

350 degrees celcius is 662 degrees farenheit. I don't think I'll be putting 660 degrees farenheit on my PCBs. I go around 400 degrees farenheit and it works fine.

Another musical great!.. I didn't learn anything... Let's watch other videos

I hate that it looks so easy, but in my case, it's not... At all

Nice video. Thank you. Do you have the link or name of the despenser you used to clean the board with??

Thanks 👍

Couldn't have asked for a better explanation, thank you so much.

You forgot to mention what a good flux is? Brand, pen? How about a link?

I do it exactly like you do in the video. I have my iron set to 325c because LED become very temperamental at 350c. It always seems like I can’t melt the solder thru the wick. Even tried preheating the wick just in case and still no luck. The solder won’t melt underneath the wick unless I touch both the blob and the wick simultaneously which often causes heat damage to small IC. I can use a little or too much flux and the outcome is the same. What am I doing wrong? Can someone provide some constructive advice?

Well done brother.. liked & supported.. One Qs. What's that type of greyish flux paste that come pre-mixed with tin and lead that we can apply on the connectors and just place small components on top and easily solder with heat gun ?

Would you mind telling me specifically what's it called because I have trouble searching for it in Amazon?

Is it possible I just got bad wick? It doesn't absorb the solder, instead it moves away from it when it melts.
I mean, I got it for free with something from AliExpress, but still, I think there shouldn't be anything you can break on it.

Good like from indonesia

Thank you!! So basic ❤

Thanks for the video. I've had solder wick get stuck a few times.
