 * Without any comment to the difference between the two, I've removed the circular link to desoldering bulb in this article. – Zedla (talk) 01:13, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I was really wondering what exactly a desoldering bulb is and how it works. It would be lovely if someone who knows could add a few words (if not an article) about it. -- megA (talk) 10:35, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Where does the solder go afterwards?
Really stupid question I'm sure, but once the solder's been sucked off the board, where does it go? Is there like a resiviour of solder inside the solder sucker that needs to be emptied, or something? Scaeme (talk) 13:38, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
 * You can remove the tip and clean the flakes out periodically. Gigs (talk) 21:04, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
