Depends how big it is; the bigger the better (within reason). Practise on
a board you can afford to live without, and see. The syringe-style sucker
I keep in my kit in the car, and the one I keep most handy on the bench,
are about 1" diameter and about 9" long. I have a much smaller one
somewhere, but it's so long since I last used it, I couldn't tell you
where.
