| [title] Heavy Oxidation | |
| [* black] Heat the soldering iron and tip the tip into the cleaner/tinner compound. Rotate the tip to ensure all surfaces are exposed to the compound. | |
| [* icon_note] Tip tinner is generally a mix of aggressive flux and solder, serving the dual purpose of eating away oxidation whilst tinning the tip. | |
| [* black] If other methods were still unable to remove the oxidation, it's time to bring out the abrasives. | |
| + | [* icon_caution] Using abrasives to clean oxidation is highly contentious in the soldering community, and should generally only be turned to as a last resort. Some might argue that if tip tinner didn't remove the oxidation, your tip is about ready for retirement anyway. |
