Tinning the tip of your new Weller soldering iron is very important for preventing oxidation. The easiest way to prevent oxidation of a solder tip is to protect it with a layer of solder. Each time you clean the soldering iron and put it away, apply a fresh solder to the tip.

Could you please give me some advice. Im new to soldering and i bought a new very inexpensive solder iron and also bought some 63/37tin/lead 2% rosin core solder. No store near me sells tinning flux or regular flux. So can i tin it with what i have?

Yes, you can use what you have. The rosin is flux

Thanks for the video. I have 2 questions. 1. What type of solder should you use if you are soldering with a lead free solder (with nickel, etc) that is challenging to solder with? (I've heard you should use 63/37 tin lead, for a high lead content, & the instant melt it gives). Would you agree? 2. I've seen so many different methods, it has left me wondering what is right. There are some who make it sound you should have the tip completely covered before even turning it on the first time, using "tinning flux" that has tin in it, and completely wrapping the tip in solder. Does that matter?

You can tin your tip with the leadfree solder. We use and sell aquasafe which is mostly tin and it is harder to solder with. We recommend the method we've used in the video but if you try different methods you may find a different one suits you better.

i've seen other vids where people wind some solder around the tip then turn the iron on. would this be the same principle?... great vid btw...

Yes, it's just about covering the tip as it heats up so that would work too.

if your new tips come pre-tinned, is there a need to tin it prior to its first use?
@perthartglass
@perthartglass 5 ай бұрын
Even if it says pre-tinned we would still recommend you follow this process. We have found that without tinning them on the first heat-up, the tips corrode.

Hi, You can carefully file the oxidisation off the tip until it's shiny again and then repeat the procedure shown in this video.

This solder is an alloy of tin and lead. This solder is 50/50 as the iron will be used for stained glass. For Copperfoil work, to create a nice smooth bead of solder use 60/40.

But doesn't the solder gunk up and effect heat transfer? I'm barely learning and I can't get the solder to NOT stick to my damn iron! It simply will not transfer to the circuit board.

It sounds like your tip may be oxidised. If it is, this is what will happen. You might need a new tip.

@@mrnuna4793 Yes, I believe so. Mine came pre tinned, too. Most likely to keep it from oxidising while in storage until first use. But the instructions do still tell me to clean it by using the "cleaning pad" (which for me will be brass wool) and then tin it, so that's what I'll do. And thank you, also.

Hi, If the soldering iron gets to full temperature before you have tinned the tip, it will oxidize and won't accept the solder. This is why this process is so important.

@@perthartglass okay, I'm thinking back just a few weeks ago I bought a new Weller 260/200 watt. The first time I used it I was holding solder up to the tip waiting for it to become hot enough to use. I guess without even meaning to I tinned the tip...😁
