Clean and Tinned: How Your Tip Should Look

As a point of reference, this is what we're striving for: A shiny tip coated in solder, free of oxidation and buildup.
If you're using lead-free solder, your tip won't be quite as bright and shiny; just make sure that the working area is coated in solder and you're good to go!
