Originally I had planned on using the sharp tip of the dental pick as the hot end but when I tried it, I found that solder does not wet stainless steel. So I added the copper as a more compatible tip. But you're right, if I was going to do that, it would have been easier to just put a copper wire on a normal iron.
Dude you just helped me immensely.
Man, you are brilliant.
Use nickel tungsten next time it works way better, a dart would work really well probably. Still this is an awesome job good work dude.
As opposed to putting a copper tip on a real soldering iron?
