I am having a hard time installing my solderless chip and I think its because I need to clean out the lps and scratch out SOME of the solder. How would you suggest I do this safely?

Rubbing alcohol will clean it up. You don't need to do any scratching. _________________ Xenium Ice 2.3.1 OS

OR you could get some "Desoldering Braid" AKA "Desoldering Wick":

Desoldering With Desoldering Braid (AKA Wick)
One method of soldering that will involve the use of the soldering iron is using desoldering braid. Desoldering braid is a copper braid, that "sucks up" the solder, somewhat like a sponge. To use desoldering braid, pull a little off the spool, and place it over the joint to be desoldered. Then place the iron over the braid, and after the solder starts to melt, it should get sucked up by the braid. Once the braid sucks it up, that portion of the braid is used up, and can be cut off. But be careful holding the braid over the joint, because the braid gets very hot.
