[Elecraft] T-Pins and Rework

[Jim Miller]

Just wanted to thank whoever (Don?) mentioned using a heated steel pin to 
clean out plated through holes. I'm using a small T-pin heated by a 
soldering iron. It's just the right size for the holes in the K2 boards I've 
had to repair.

I clean out as much solder as possible with solderwick then with a fresh 
blob of solder on the iron, heat the pin and give it a slight push.

It does a beautiful job of cleaning out the hole without damaging the 
traces.
