Tresse à dessouder […] : Comme son nom l'indique, la tresse est constituée de plusieurs fils de cuivre, tressés entre eux. On la retrouve en différentes largeurs. Lors de son utilisation, on la pose sur la soudure que l'on veut retirer puis on dépose la panne du fer par-dessus celle-ci afin de faire fondre la soudure. L'étain fondu sera «aspiré» par capillarité dans la tresse. La section ayant absorbé l'étain devra être coupée puisqu'elle ne peut être utilisée qu'une seule fois. 3, record 3, French, - tresse%20%C3%A0%20dessouder
