  3. Question Question about my soldering iron

    You have to re tin. Tinning is not a one and done. Im tinning my tips regularly through soldering and before I put everything a way I give all my tips a fresh tinning. He was talking about ROHS yes but at 420C+ he should be easily melting ROHS. His problem is definitely a tip maintenance...

    Joystick modder here that uses soldering irons. Sounds like your tips are not being tinned and they are oxidized which is killing heat transfer from the ceramic core. Google "Solder Tip Tinning" to learn how to maintain soldering irons/tips
