I find the few times I've needed it, the wick worked great. I just place it over the solder, and put the iron on the wick, solder just goes right into the wick when the solder melts.
Now if my soldering abilities were as good as my wicking, I might actually try to build something. It's funny, I used to be pretty good with a solder iron, but the older I get, the worse I get.
