Can this solder tip be saved?
It's a Weller WESD51 - Temp 725f
Man it just will not melt anything. I know it has oxidation on the tip.
Can it be cleaned with alcohol and some sand paper?
I think what got me into trouble is my Craftsman lead-free solder that is .062
Looks like I'm off to Radio Shack in the morning to get something different!
I do use the wet sponge to try to clean the tip.. Looks like that didn't work huh!
