Hints and Tricks
Tip oxidation removal:
Firstly, clean the tip using a wet sponge then clean with wire brush.
Secondly, use a tip re-activator chemical to remove hard residues and
oxidation, and finally re-tinning using solder wire (flux cored).
Make sure that the tip type is compatible to the application – as explained
above in tip selection section – with the solder material mass to avoid
process failure, tip damage and oxidation.
Apply the tip to small part of solder wire before you start soldering or de-
soldering.
Wet the sponge by distilled water.
Note: Sulfur and other minerals in Tap-water cause fast tip oxidation.
Keeping the tip clean and shine, enhances the sensitivity and performance
of the tip.
