Made in Japan | Pure Copper Braid | High-Speed Absorption
When you're working on a rare Game Boy, a classic NES, or a beloved Sega Saturn, there is no room for error. One overheated pad or one lifted trace can turn a simple capacitor swap into a nightmare. That’s why professional modders and retro enthusiasts worldwide trust Goot Wick.
Commonly regarded as the best desoldering braid in the industry, Goot Wick is manufactured in Japan by Taiyo Electric. It is specifically engineered to pull solder away from delicate components faster and cleaner than generic alternatives.
High Thermal Response: The ultra-fine copper weave transfers heat instantly, allowing you to remove solder with minimal contact time. This is critical for preventing thermal damage to 30-year-old PCBs.
RMA-Compatible Flux: Saturated with a special non-chlorine, Rosin Mildly Activated (RMA) flux, it cleans the joint as it works, ensuring the solder flows into the wick and not onto your board.
Precision Weave: Unlike cheap "ratty" wicks that fray, Goot Wick maintains its structure, allowing for pinpoint accuracy on tight CPU pins and small surface-mount pads.
Lead-Free Ready: While it works beautifully on vintage leaded solder, its high heat efficiency makes it one of the few braids capable of easily tackling stubborn modern lead-free solder.
We stock Goot Wick in two convenient lengths to suit your workbench needs:
1.5 Meter Spool: Perfect for the hobbyist or occasional repair. Compact and easy to keep in a travel kit.
30 Meter Spool: The professional’s choice. If you’re recapping consoles daily, this bulk roll offers the best value and ensures you never run out mid-job.
Pro Tip: For the best results, use a clean, tinned iron tip and match the width of your wick to the size of the solder joint. This ensures maximum capillary action and the cleanest possible finish.
Don’t risk your rare hardware with generic braid. Use the wick the pros use. Use Goot Wick.

Luke
Retro Enthusiast
RetroSix is a family run business led by Luke, who has been in the gaming industry and retail business since 2013, and sold consoles, controllers and even designed our own controllers and consoles.
We repair and upgrade consoles while showing them off on our social channels such as TikTok.
We sell products for restoring your own consoles should you wish to do it yourself, including many of our own hardware we design and manufacture in-house.
Finally, we print directly onto products to create unique one-off designs of things like Game Boys, Game Gears and anything that has a relatively flat surface we can print on. Checkout our Printed Products sections to buy some or design your very own.
We started RetroSix not as a mass market business, instead with the aim of perfection. Recreating moulds of original shells, casting them from quality ABS, redesigning hardware such as power supplies, USB-C, audio and more, to upgrade your consoles to the highest quality available. No cheap junk sold for profit.
Partners
We believe partnering with other likeminded companies is a great way to help each other out and ultimately make products that are better for the end consumer.
Of course, we sell and ship worldwide direct from source if you would like to purchase direct from anywhere in the world.
