element14 Presents | Bald Engineer: James Lewis' VCP Profile | Workbench Wednesdays
Even with high-quality genuine tips from a brand like Weller, your tip does not last forever. These 5 useful tips address common soldering iron maintenance questions. Answer questions like: should soldering iron tips last forever? And, which is better for soldering, a wet sponge or a brass sponge?
