What to do when the tip is blackened and not ‘wettable’
Using a clean sponge, repeat the process of tinning and cleaning the tip several times. The tip
surface of an iron that has been in use a short time, generally has a higher ‘wettability’ recov-
ery level.
If this does not remove the discoloration, use a fine grit sandpaper (eg., #600 grit) to remove
any black solid particles and tin it with solder once more.
Washing and replacement of the cleaning sponge
If the cleaning sponge appears black or brown, rinse out the stains in water. If rinsing doesn’t
remove the stains, replace the sponge.
