    Default solder wicks

    I am hoping this is an appropriate forum.


    How do I use a solder wick to clean up messy drops of solder?


    I assumed it would be like a reverse solder - ie heat up the wick & the affected area & the solder would magically run up the wick. It hasn't happened.


    What is the correct way to use a wick to clean up messy soldering attempts?


    Thanks,
    Rob.
