I think you must have a soldering iron fairy AG, that keeps your iron nice when you are not looking

A moment ago I looked at the cold tip of my soldering iron and it has dried rosin on it. When it heats then I will use my "fairy" to clean it:
One quick wipe on my damp grooved sponge before making my next solder joint.
The tip is a few years old and is used almost every day. It came tinned from the factory and I have never needed to re-tin it.
You know what? The tip of my soldering iron "accidently" gets re-tined when I tin the twisted together strands of stranded wire.
I used a propane torch, a tub of flux and lead-free solder to replace the water taps at my son's house. I never soldered copper water pipes before but they work perfectly and look perfect.
I got my bathroom renovated with an acrylic tub and walls. The real plumbers made a mess of soldering the taps and shower head because the joints leaked water 3 times, the 4th time they were soldered it doesn't leak anymore. I am not a plumber but I should have soldered them myself. Then they sent a handyman to repair the damaged ceiling underneath. Never mind.
