Default Re: Cheap Desoldering Wick

Re flux pens, I have been using a Kester 951 pen, but recently noted that, according the the fine print on the pen, it has a shelf life of 1 year @25'C. Mine is dated 2017 .

Re Veroboard/stripboard, I had not heard that they are coated with anything; I always clean them well with very fine steel wool and IPA before use, and that seems to work out ok.

As I don't use de-soldering braid very often, I find myself trying and failing to use stuff that is "old". Some effective homebrew concoction would be useful.
