[Elecraft] OT: Another quick question about solder...

[James Sarte]

Hi Ron,

I do have one of those little manual solder suckers, but I can never seem to
get the technique down right when it comes to using it.  Always seems the
solder hardens before I get chance to suck it out, hihi.

I probably should have ordered some braid to go with my solder, but alas I
forgot.  I'll have to keep practicing with the sucker instead.
