It makes reworking PCBs easy and quick. With a few tips and tricks, products like MG Chemical&rsquo;s Superwick can work like magic. You can remove solder from surface mount parts, wick away excess solder blobs, and repair boards using it. In this video, James shares tips and tricks from the element14 community for using desoldering braid. (Please note: the makers of Superwick, MG Chemicals, sponsored this video)</span></p> <p style="background-color:#e9f6fc;border:1px solid #b8d7e5;margin:0;max-width:744px;padding:8px;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:&#39;Open Sans&#39;, Arial, sans-serif;text-align:justify;">One of my favorite shots in the entire episode is one of the microscope pictures. I often write a draft script of what I want to cover before I shoot all of the overhead video clips. In my notes, I wrote, &ldquo;microscope to see the flux--can you even see it?&rdquo; Imagine my surprise when I looked at Superwick under the microscope and could clearly see the flux on it.</span></p> <p style="margin:0;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</p> <h2 id="mcetoc_1fl77lgei0"><span style="color:#3334ca;">Supplemental Content:</span></h2> <ul> <li><a class="jive-link-blog-small"

sans-serif;text-align:justify;">Desoldering braid removes surface solder from a circuit board. It makes reworking PCBs easy and quick. With a few tips and tricks, products like MG Chemical&rsquo;s Superwick can work like magic. You can remove solder from surface mount parts, wick away excess solder blobs, and repair boards using it. In this video, James shares tips and tricks from the element14 community for using desoldering braid. (Please note: the makers of Superwick, MG Chemicals, sponsored this video)</span></p> <p style="background-color:#e9f6fc;border:1px solid #b8d7e5;margin:0;max-width:744px;padding:8px;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:&#39;Open Sans&#39;, Arial, sans-serif;text-align:justify;">One of my favorite shots in the entire episode is one of the microscope pictures. I often write a draft script of what I want to cover before I shoot all of the overhead video clips. In my notes, I wrote, &ldquo;microscope to see the flux--can you even see it?&rdquo; Imagine my surprise when I looked at Superwick under the microscope and could clearly see the flux on it.</span></p> <p style="margin:0;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</p> <h2 id="mcetoc_1fl77lgei0"><span style="color:#3334ca;">Supplemental Content:</span></h2> <ul> <li><a class="jive-link-blog-small"

solder from a circuit board. It makes reworking PCBs easy and quick. With a few tips and tricks, products like MG Chemical’s Superwick can work like magic. You can remove solder from surface mount parts, wick away excess solder blobs, and repair boards using it. In this video, James shares tips and tricks from the element14 community for using desoldering braid. (Please note: the makers of Superwick, MG Chemicals, sponsored this video)</span></p><p style="margin:0;border:1px solid #b8d7e5;background-color:#e9f6fc;padding:8px;max-width:744px;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:&#39;Open Sans&#39;, Arial, sans-serif;text-align:justify;">One of my favorite shots in the entire episode is one of the microscope pictures. I often write a draft script of what I want to cover before I shoot all of the overhead video clips. In my notes, I wrote, “microscope to see the flux--can you even see it?” Imagine my surprise when I looked at Superwick under the microscope and could clearly see the flux on it.</span></p><p

solder from a circuit board. It makes reworking PCBs easy and quick. With a few tips and tricks, products like MG Chemical’s Superwick can work like magic. You can remove solder from surface mount parts, wick away excess solder blobs, and repair boards using it. In this video, James shares tips and tricks from the element14 community for using desoldering braid.
