Having a bad day?That doesn't remove the solder
Mr. Solder soldering and desoldering flux.What kind of flux?
I'll try to post photos.Hello there!
Did someone say rubbish?
Happens to be my mantra.
To the Thread Starter. Is it possible to take a photograph of the equipment you are using the soldering iron the solder wick or perhaps a description of the soldering iron is it variable temperature?How many watts? type of tip you're using? Any and all information you can provide,thank you.

Good enough for me. Soo.Nope, haven't tried it yet. Yaakov recommended it. Softens and lowers the melt point of solder making it easier to remove with less heat is the idea. LOTS OF FLUX is usually the key to solder removal and adding a bit of this is supposed to lower the melt point. FWIW Yaakov's recommendations to me have always been good advice! Best thing I've found is my vacuum desoldering station.
Sorta, 4.5' of it comes in a 7" tube!Does that stuff come in six pack?

Here is a photo of the tools I'm using, the soldering iron's temperature controller is broken, after 30 minutes, the maximum temperature is 110 farhenheit, it delivered broken. The grey thing on the wik could be dust.Hello there!

That will do itHere is a photo of the tools I'm using, the soldering iron's temperature controller is broken, after 30 minutes, the maximum temperature is 110 farhenheit, it delivered broken. The grey thing on the wik could be dust.

Can you post a photo of the tip you are talking about?That style of soldering iron will probably not deliver enough heat to work with that size of solder wick. And the glob of melted solder on the end of the roll verifies this. Every one of those tips is a soldering tip, none suitable for use with solder wick.
Just because an iron is suitable for making a good connection does not make it able to apply enough heat energy to supply adequate heat for unsoldering. The Solderwick does carry a lot of heat away, and so more wattage is needed. One of those 40watt unregulated irons with the solid copper tip 1/8 or 5/32 inch diameter will do the job, and probably cost about as much as one of those tips shown for the whole iron. The ones I am describing used to sell for about $8 at Radio Shack a few years ago.
NO,Can you post a photo of the tip you are talking about?
It could be because it is an Indian company.I don't see a MSDS.
