| [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. Overuse of tip tinner will reduce the iron's lifespan, as the acid will remove a bit of the iron plating as well. | |
| - | [* 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. |
