Next time you in your local electronics shop, keep an eye out for a de-soldering iron. Got mine for under $10 and it is very handy.Well, I was trying to solder a header on a AXE033 with little experience and just as I was getting the hang of it, I soldered across to the next pin. So, i'm looking for ideas ho to fix this?
Yes, I agree. I tend to hold the board slightly "off vertical" with the copper side downwards. With the solder melted, tap the edge of the board gently on the bench to encourage the solder to drop off.I usually use a good, clean, tinned soldering iron and gravity. Hold the board vertically and quickly melt the solder blob with the soldering iron. Then move the iron down and away from the board. Hey presto: a cleaned joint!
