Good point Mario!
I haven't tried wood out of concern for leaving carbonized debris behind in
the solder. So it works eh? I'll have a go at it next time. Maybe it'd help
to dip the tooth pick in the beer first to get it wet.

I believe Wayne was talking about wooden toothpicks. They dont conduct heat.
I've used these, or wood splinters from snapped-in-half wooden matches.
Good for one or two holes only, but easily replaced.
