    @boomerangfreak 11 років тому

    It was a new soldering iron (so also the tip) and I always use rosin core
    it just turned out that the 80W iron got to hot because since I added a in-line dimmer and got the right temperature everything works great and the tip isn't a problem anymore
    I love this new setup (instead of a simple 30W iron I now have some kind of 80W station :)

    Hemostats are a great idea! I would also add that a lot of problems with bad soldering isn't the iron's fault, it's that they haven't been tinned most of the time. Also you forgot the desoldering wick.

    Recently discovered an awesome tool/trick. To remove a component for reuse-Pull on it lightly then hit the underside of the board with a heat gun on high and close. With just a little pulling when the solder softens, the component will come out nice and clean.
