- When using a solder wick, you should add some flux to the solder joint you want to desolder.
Advanced
Although the following information could be useful for a beginner as well, you shouldn't be too concerned with it if you are just starting out. Soldering is the best way to learn soldering.

Stress relief
Many components have stress relief "built in". In Through Hole components (TH), the legs serve this function. The same goes for IC packages with for instance "seagull" legs, such as QFP packages.
Temperature
With surface mounted components, it is generally recommended that the core of the component (generally the IC) should not experience a temperature rise of over 3°C per second.
Reflow Soldering
The most common technique in industrial electronics manufacturing. Instead of using a soldering iron, the entire circuit is heated with a precise temperature profile (a function over time). Generally gives better results for small or fine-pitch components unless you are extremely good at hand soldering. Omega Verksted has facilities for doing reflow soldering.
