Thank you. How would you remove the old solder?
get some old tv coax 75ohm cable, cut off the outer plastic insulation,
(carefully, so you dont cut the copper braiding), then gently peel back
the copper braiding exposing the plastic centre with 1 central wire.
cut this plastic off leaving the braiding clear. apply this to your
heated solder joints when uysing your iron and it should absorb the
solder. coating it in fluxite (solder paste) helps.
