Hey everyone,
I’m a complete beginner in the world of soldering, and I’m facing some frustrating issues with my soldering iron tips. After just a few minutes of use, my soldering iron tips can’t melt the solder anymore.
I always keep a sponge nearby and make sure to clean the tip frequently, just like I saw in tutorials. However, the tips still look a little “burned”/ black. Am I doing something wrong? Or could it be related to the soldering equipment I’m using? I bought a $20 kit on Amazon just to practice.
Probably the equipment or maybe how you’re touching the part you want to heat.
Take a look at this video where Louis Rossmann explains which tips works and which ones don’t and shows why.
Thanks for sharing! Literally one minute into the video, and he says that the tips I’ve been using so far suck lol
