Desoldering braid is a fine woven generally copper wire used to remove solder by using the "wicking" action that draws liquids into a fabric-like material.  (Much like a paper towel soaks up water)  Desoldering braid is cheap, relatively effective and can be found even at shitty electronics stores like Rat Shack.
