Hello, Ed.  Back in about 1982-83 several of my A-7D Avionics troops were 
buying cheap "Pinapple" mother boards to make Apple clone PCs.  The boards 
were "cheap" in that the parallel solder traces sometimes had solder 
bridging between traces.
. . . Theie solution was to use dental picks to scrape the unwanted solder 
out from between the traces - simple, no-heat, no solder wick way of 
accomplishing a bit of clean-up work.

Keep up the good work and having fun.
