[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1814691, member: 175845"] No, I'm not saying that, an iron of that range would probably be too large. The tip needs to be clean and the right shape, as well as the correct temperature. Maybe try adding some flux, and it may flow better when desoldering. If need be, do some googling on tips and techniques if you need and check to have the correct soldering iron: [url]https://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Pick-the-Best-Soldering-Iron/[/url] PS: If you have a set of small jewelers screwdrivers, You can often use the smaller blade ones as a drill, and use them to drill through the remaining solder. Just a thought... as you said you didn't have the proper size drills. But the set of small hand operated [I]thumb twist drills[/I] is not that expensive usually. - Patrick ====== [/QUOTE]
