No flux solder wick is a tightly woven, oxide-free copper solder wick that contains no flux within the braid. This design allows users to apply whatever flux they wish, including water-soluble flux for aqueous processes. The solder wick is suitable for general-purpose solder removal, including reworking and repairing of circuit boards, benchtop repair and service, through-hole repair, and surface mount assembly touch-up.
