Try this: * Lay the board onto a solder pot with the via in question on the heat. * Push the wire into the via. * Step back and pat yourself on the back. Since you probably have components in the area of the via that you don't want to cook, try a va

Hi Wow, Sounds like a neat problem. As an other idea try inserting the largest wire you can get in the hole and heating the free end to wick solder up the wire away from the hole. I probably like the solder pot with a small nozzle the best so it h

I'm trying to solder a 0.011" lead into a 0.015" +/-0.003" hole. Stop laughing please. This is normally possible with difficulty, except if the lead is removed and the attempt is made to re-install a lead. Anyone have thoughts on how to remove nea

Just curious if anyone has had any problems because of using acetone to clean flux off boards or parts. Is acetone an acceptable flux remover for re-work? What are the pros and cons about using acetone Thanks in advance, JD
