What I do is add extra heat on the opposite side using an extra pencil
tip solder iron , hold the board vertically[or use a vise], it helps
control the action this way, and preheat the other side with the
desolder iron [with the bulb squeezed tightly] for several seconds and
then release. This also helps with the stubborn power pins on any DIP
package.

Hi Everyone. I'm harvesting parts from an old 386
motherboard... a
couple pin headers and a few ISA slots for that 2000 upgrade I
mentioned earlier. I'm having a bit of trouble though. I'm using one
of those bulb-type solder suckers. The problem is that I think I'm
getting 95% of the solder out of there. But the bit of solder that
remains is preventing me from removing the parts from the holes. Can
anyone offer suggestions to make this go more smoothly?
