I was shown how to use a drinking straw to blow away the melted extra solder from the little holes on the connecting pins.

I know he soldered some parts back in various devices but not sure what he used.

Lead solder poisoning..!!
Too much solder sucked UP through the straw..rather than blown away..Sever brain damage..
Only cure know to man is a daily infusion of Beer!!!
