EasyBraid Quick Braid Rosin Desoldering Wick – 10 ft Anti-Static, .025"–.125"
Remove solder quickly and cleanly during electronics repair and rework with EasyBraid Quick Braid Desoldering Wick. Made from clean, oxide-free copper with a tight weave and rosin flux, Quick Braid is designed to wick molten solder away from component leads, pads, terminals, and other soldered connections.
Choose from five braid widths from .025" to .125" to match the size of the connection and the amount of solder being removed. These 10-foot lengths are supplied on static-dissipative bobbins, making them well suited for electronics repair, PCB rework, component replacement, and other ESD-sensitive service applications.

Select the braid width that best matches the solder joint or area being serviced. Narrower braid provides greater access and control around small connections, while wider braid provides more surface area for removing larger amounts of solder.
Quick Braid Rosin-Fluxed Construction
Quick Braid combines fine copper braiding with rosin flux to promote efficient solder flow into the wick.
The tightly woven, oxide-free copper provides a large surface area for absorbing molten solder. When heated against a solder joint with a soldering iron, the braid draws solder away from the connection through capillary action.
This makes it useful for removing excess solder, clearing solder from pads, replacing components, correcting solder bridges, and preparing connections for rework.
Choose the Right Width
Having the correct braid width helps make desoldering faster and reduces unnecessary heating of the surrounding area.
A – .025" Gray
The narrowest option, ideal for very small pads, fine connections, and confined areas where precise placement is important.
B – .050" Yellow
A versatile narrow braid for small component leads, pads, and general electronics repair.
C – .075" Green
A medium-width option that provides additional solder capacity while remaining manageable for many common PCB connections.
D – .100" Blue
A wider braid for larger solder joints, terminals, and areas where more solder needs to be removed.
E – .125" Brown
The widest option in this product family, providing greater braid surface area for larger connections and heavier solder removal.
Static-Dissipative 10-Foot Bobbins
The 10-foot Quick Braid sizes are supplied on static-dissipative bobbins designed for use in ESD-conscious electronics work.
This makes the braid particularly useful at electronics repair benches and rework stations where static-sensitive components may be present.
The color-coded bobbins also make it easy to identify the braid width at a glance.
How Desoldering Braid Works
Place the braid directly over the solder you want to remove, then place the heated soldering iron tip against the braid.
As the solder melts, it is drawn into the copper braid. Once the solder has wicked into the braid, remove the iron and braid from the connection together.
After the used section cools, trim it away to expose fresh braid for the next connection.
For best heat transfer, keep the soldering iron tip clean and properly tinned.
Match the Braid to the Connection
For efficient solder removal, choose a braid width close to the size of the soldered area.
Using braid that is unnecessarily wide can require more heat, while braid that is too narrow may not absorb enough solder efficiently. The five available widths make it easy to choose the appropriate size for anything from fine PCB work to larger soldered connections.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Quick Braid used for?
EasyBraid Quick Braid is used to remove molten solder from electronic components, circuit board pads, terminals, and other soldered connections during repair and rework.
How long is each spool?
Each selectable size on this page contains 10 feet of desoldering braid.
What sizes are available?
Choose from five nominal widths: .025", .050", .075", .100", and .125".
Which size should I choose?
Choose a braid width that closely matches the solder joint or pad. Narrow braid is useful for small connections and confined spaces, while wider braid provides greater capacity for larger solder joints.
What is the smallest size?
Size A is the smallest option at .025" nominal width and uses a gray color code.
What is the largest size?
Size E is the largest option at .125" nominal width and uses a brown color code.
Why are the bobbins different colors?
EasyBraid uses color coding to make each braid width easy to identify: Gray for A, Yellow for B, Green for C, Blue for D, and Brown for E.
Is this braid fluxed?
Yes. Quick Braid is EasyBraid's rosin-fluxed desoldering braid.
Is this the same as EasyBraid One Step?
No. Quick Braid is the rosin-fluxed product family. EasyBraid One Step is a separate no-clean desoldering braid product line.
Is this unfluxed braid?
No. EasyBraid's unfluxed product is sold under the Sea Braid line. Quick Braid is supplied with rosin flux.
Are the bobbins anti-static?
Yes. These 10-foot AS versions are supplied on static-dissipative bobbins for use in ESD-conscious electronics work.
Can I use it to remove components from a circuit board?
Yes. Quick Braid can remove solder from component leads and pads to assist with component removal and replacement.
Can it be used to remove a solder bridge?
Yes. The braid can wick away excess solder when correcting solder bridges and other soldering defects.
How do I use desoldering braid?
Place the braid over the solder, apply a clean and tinned soldering iron tip to the braid, and allow the molten solder to wick into the copper. Remove the braid and iron together, allow the braid to cool, and trim away the used portion.
Where is EasyBraid Quick Braid made?
It is made in the USA.
