Sounds like you may not be heating the braid.

Technique is:

1).Lay braid across solder to be removed, about a quarter to half an
inch from the end of the braid works for me.

2).Place iron on braid and wait for the solder to wick up.

3).Drop braid and curse at charred fingers...


As others have said, results can be variable on multi-layer boards.
