RE: Micro Drill Bits

I am a long time user of solder wick as well. Recently I have run into problems, I think because of the nature of solder used on circuit boards after the '70s. Some of that rubbery garbage will simply not wick out of a feed through, even after multiple uses of flux and additional 'good' solder to thin out the rubbery garbage. Several times I have had to resort to a pin to puncture through the thin sheet remaining in the center of the feed through. Otherwise getting to trace lifting time, which is another bad thing.

If you have a solution to lifting the crap rubbery solder, then I would really like to know about it. All part of the craft, I think...
