/diy/ - Do It Yourself

$10 says angry anon who can't buy a working iron never tinned the tip to begin with.

It sounds like he bought an iron, plugged it in, let it get scorching hot, the tip immediately oxidized, then he's wondering why it won't heat up a solder joint. Then he tossed it, bought another one, and immediately did the same exact thing. Now we have to listen to how all irons are cheap and every you tube tutorial sucks. I don't know about you guys, but I've got a Weller WTCPT, had it for just about 20 years now, it was used when I got it, I literally use it almost every day, and the last time I replaced a tip was a year ago.

You know, at first i thought you were actually serious and concerned, but now I know you're a troll.

You know that, even though there is an fda limit to how much lead can legally be in the water system, that doesn't mean the amount of lead in the drinking water is zero.

MY drinking water doesn't have lead.
None of MY walls have a layer of lead paint in there somewhere.
I'VE never taken a breath anywhere near an automobile.

Fuck off troll. Don't solder anything ever. Leave it to all the older more experienced people, like pic related.
