Questions about this product

What is desoldering braid used for?
You use it to soak up molten solder during PCB repair. Lay the braid on the joint, heat it with your iron, and it wicks the solder away. That clears pads, fixes solder bridges, and helps you remove components cleanly.
Does it work with lead-free solder?
Yes. The copper wick handles both leaded alloys like Sn63/Pb37 and lead-free types such as SAC305. Use a standard iron in the 200 to 450 degrees C range. The 3.0mm width suits through-hole and SMD pads.
How do I use it for the cleanest result?
Press the braid flat against the solder, then hold a hot iron tip on top of it. The rosin flux core activates and the solder flows into the copper. Once a section fills, snip it off and use fresh braid.
