I have an Eggtimer TRS that I'm working on retrofitting with terminal blocks. The existing wiring appears to be soldered top and bottom. I have no issues heating the solder to remove the wires. But the solder keeps trying to fill the holes. It's also leaving a lump on top of the board. Even if the hole is clean, this prevents the terminal block from seating fully and I worry about it running and shorting the board if I try to heat it and push the terminal block through.
Not looking to buy a desoldering iron. What can I use to pick up the solder off the board while heating it? Thanks.
