I have had similar experiences with several brands of desolder braid/wick

Unfortunately, I have not been able to find it anywhere local and always
must order it from Digi-Key.
Seconded. The crappy solder braid at Radio Shack is not worth the effort
to throw it in the trash pail. Chemtronics + paste flux works magic.

of those
pumps for sucking out the molten solder. I also have 2mm solder
wick (braid?).
I seem to have removed most of the solder from two of the pins, mostly
with the pump, the solder wick just does not seem to pick up any
solder not
Thats what I tend to find too. I much prefer the solder sucker (pump).
