How To Prepare A Soldering Iron Tip

It was also polished shiny.

How to prepare a soldering iron tip. Apply very little flux in the solder joints and make the soldering. To use the Tip tinnercleaner heat the soldering iron. The hot solder on the irons tip will cause both the wires solder and the rails solder to melt into one.

Again the easy tip was made into a screw at one end of the brass rod screwed into the soldering iron and then cut off of the rest of the rod. Sit for a few minutes before wiping it clean. In order to prep a new soldering iron you should first be aware of how to use it.

Soak the sponge using the water squeeze it out a little then use it to clean the tip of the soldering iron. Use set screws to re-assemble the iron. ANd of course if you dont tin the tip in the first place again letting.

When the iron is hot wipe both sides of the soldering tip on the sponge. Your goal is to remove old solder from the tip. If not wait a bit more or add more water to the sponge if its too dry.

Operating at temperatures exceeding 850F dramatically increases the formation of iron oxides which. Fit the tip back to the heater assembly once. This step will coat the iron in a mixture of flux and solder.

Well when the iron soldering warms up the iron plating which is the working surface would start oxidizing due to the temperature. Plug in the iron and switch it on. To prevent this you use solder to protect it.
