Why will my wick not draw solder?

Almost always because the flux has oxidised. Cut off the exposed end and try again; if it still will not draw, the roll has been open too long.

How do I avoid lifting a pad?

Lift the iron and the braid together the instant the solder draws. The damage happens in the seconds afterwards, when the iron is still heating a pad with nothing left to absorb it.

Rabbit Fix Desoldering Wick.

Wick works by capillary action: lay the braid on the joint, press the iron on top, and the molten solder climbs into the copper. The flux in the braid is what makes it climb.

That is also why old wick stops working — once the flux has oxidised the braid just absorbs heat instead of drawing solder. Cut the tired end off, and store the roll sealed.

Key features

Fluxed copper braid for fast capillary draw
Cleans pads without scraping
Low residue on the board

What this is used for

Cleaning pads after chip removal
Removing bridged solder
Preparing a pad area for reballing

Who it's for

Micro-soldering technicians cleaning solder off boards.

Where it fits in the repair

Lay the braid flat on the joint, bring the iron down on top of it, and lift both together the moment the solder wicks up.
