De-soldering a triclamp ferrule

[Dernebo]

I'm quite new to soldering stainless and I wonder if it will be possible to desolder an existing TC-ferrule that is silver soldered. Is it possible to get rid of old silver solder?

Soldered joints can be unsoldered using heat.

Once you have the ferrule removed you can heat the thing you want free of solder and use a damp towel to wipe off all but the last film of solder.

At that point mechanical abrasion can remove the rest down to bare metal...

Cheers!

Thankyou. That's what I thought, but better to ask before unsoldering.
