Just wanted to thank whoever (Don?) mentioned using a heated steel pin to
clean out plated through holes. I'm using a small T-pin heated by a
soldering iron. It's just the right size for the holes in the K2 boards I've
had to repair.
I clean out as much solder as possible with solderwick then with a fresh
blob of solder on the iron, heat the pin and give it a slight push.
It does a beautiful job of cleaning out the hole without damaging the
traces.
