Best way of removing solder without solder sucker?

Question

I have a new xbox 360 laser coming tomorrow but theres a blob of anti-static solder that needs removing for it to work, only i dont have a solder sucker, but i do have a soldering iron, any chance of this solder blob just dropping off once i apply heat to it?

Answer 1

Heat up your iron & wipe all solder off it with a damp sponge. The blob will be sucked on & stick to the iron.

Answer 2

You need to buy roll of solder wick it will absorb the solder when you heat it. Place the solder wick on top of solder and heat .  I used to buy from Radio Shack it was about $2.00 roll

Good Luck

Answer 3

Put a piece of braided copper cable (like a piece of an extension cord)  on the solder and heat both up both.  The solder will be sucked into the braided cable.

Answer 4

Heat up the solder blob, and while it is still liquidy, wipe it off with some kitchen roll or tissue.
