Product Description
Any place you can put solder in, you can take it out with Super Wick. Remove the most expensive circuitry with confidence. Just lay the Super Wick on the soldered joint, apply tip of soldering iron to top-side for one second, and lift iron and Super Wick together to leave a clean connection ready for component removal or replacing. Super Wick is pure copper, specially woven wound on a pocket size spool with pressurized periphery. ROHS Compliant.

Desoldering Braids
MG Chemicals Super Wicks are desoldering braids made of clean, oxide-free copper wire with a tight weave. The best solder wick is designed for solder removal to ease the replacement of electronics components without damaging the board or components. They reduce rework/repair time and minimize the risk of heat damage to the board.
Our desoldering braids’ exceptional weave design and heat transfer capacities result in very fast and large capacity wicking, faster than any other competitive brand on the market.
We offer four solder wick types: Type ‘R’, Lead-Free, and No-Clean and No-Flux systems. They are available in a wide variety of lengths, and widths. All 5 braids are housed in static-free bobbins.
Features: Copper wick – high purity oxide free copper | Tight weave | Fast wicking | Environmentally stable | ESD safe bobbins for 1.5 m size | NSF – Non-Food Compounds Program listed (Excluding 400-NF series)
Applications: Solder removal | Reworking and repair of circuit boards | Benchtop repair and service | Surface mount assembly touch-up

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?
