When tip is cold lightly polish the tip to remove oxides. Immediately re-tin the tip In extreme cases of tip oxidation or tip "burnout" use the WPB1 along with tip tinnier. Once tip is renewed, re-tin immediately. Use the lowest soldering iron temperature possible SOLDERS & FLUXES FACTS The higher tin content in lead free solders attacks the iron plating on soldering tips. Small diameter wire solder often has Flux voids that cause tip oxidation. Hard, black smooth coating on tip is burned on flux, not a tip defect. Water-soluble fluxes are highly corrosive at high temperatures and especially damaging to soldering tips. Wire solder cored with water-soluble flux used during touch-up and rework procedures result in accelerated tip failure. No-clean fluxes are usually insufficient to clean normal oxides off soldering tips.
