I used over 15' of desoldering braid on that last little radio. I only finished it because the cabinet came out very nice. At least it performs well.

Wow! I don't think I have used 15 feet of desoldering braid in my entire life Icon_confused

I just draw off the solder blob on the soldering pencil tip and fling it into an ashtray or the garbage can. (I probably should be saving it - haha).

I look at wire replacement sort of like I do lawn-mowing. Its a time-consuming, brainless PITA but it sure feels good and looks nice when its done.
