[sdiy] solder wick?

[Rude 66]

i have this problem with the board for my 76477 synth. there's a thick
ground trace, almost looks like old solder wick. soldered onto the board.
nothing melts this stuff, and no other solder holds on to it. i've tried
everything. i can't really use anything too major because there's parts
mounted right next to it.

and what is a solder pot?
