Good solder tip on this website - RF Cafe Forums

RF Cafe Forums closed its virtual doors in late 2012 mainly due to other social media platforms dominating public commenting venues. RF Cafe Forums began sometime around August of 2003 and was quite well-attended for many years. By 2012, Facebook and Twitter were overwhelmingly dominating online personal interaction, and RF Cafe Forums activity dropped off precipitously. Regardless, there are still lots of great posts in the archive that ware worth looking at. Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

Hey. In case you haven't seen it, there is a great tip on using a old solder wick holder (the plastic kind) to wind solder onto to make it easy to hold and dispence while using it. It also prevents the terrible snarl of solder that accumulates on the large solder spools and leaves almost no waste on the bench. Here is the link.
