+ | [* black] When you're finished soldering or storing the iron, before always leave a glob of solder on the tip. This protective coating prevents oxidation by sealing the tip from exposure to air and moisture. |
[* icon_note] It is especially important for long-term storage, as the solder will protect the iron/nickel plating from damage. | |
[* black] Before using the iron again, simply wipe off the excess solder with a brass ball or a damp sponge, and re-tin the tip for optimal heat transfer. |
