Keeping your soldering tip in top condition is crucial. A
clean tip means more efficient, more accurate, and longer lasting work.
Moreover, having a well-maintained iron gives you the most out of your
soldering investment. To ensure your unit stands the tests of time and
industrial use, we've gathered these helpful tips for keeping your soldering
tips, especially premium tips from Hexacon™, in prime
working condition.
Frist and foremost, manufacturers recommend that you keep
the working surface of your soldering tip tinned. If you leave your solder idle
for extended periods, be sure to keep excess solder on the tip.
Keep your solder tip clean. When burned solder or flux
residue accumulates, wipe it off with a wet cellulose sponge. For soiled tips,
allow the unit to cool before cleaning with a scrubber. Heating the tip just
enough to melt resin and solder with flux core solder as soon as possible is
best.
Finally, be certain you always adhere to good soldering
practices. This includes removing the tip often to prevent sticking as well as
keeping the tip fully inserted in the iron at all times is. In doing so, you
ensure quality results as well as extended the usage potential of your scolding
equipment.
