I am sure this questions was already answered but I am just unable to find the right answer.
When I finish soldering, what is the best practice to preserve the tip (I have some cheep iron with temperature controll and a spunge and I use some "hq nedis flux cored solder" sn:40, pb:60 0.7m/m flux 2.0% tin wire)?
Which one of these is correct:
- should I clean the tip with moist spunge and turn off the iron
or
- should I clean the tip with moist spunge, melt some fresh tin wire on it (I wrote what tim wire I use/have) and then turn off the iron
thanks in advance
