Brought a tip back to life before my very eyes. It took quite a long time, this tip really was in need of some love. But it worked! And I've been buying new tips whenever they stopped sticking to the solder. Now I know I can use this to freshen them up occasionally and even bring one back to life if needed.

Will be testing it out soon but looks like it's helping my solder clean

Good

Great tip tinner, makes my soldering tip come up like brand new.

Works just like is suppose to.Was able to save a pair of non replaceable solder gun tips from 60 years ago and work perfect now.

Oh dear, what an awful headline. Fortunately, the tip tinner is not awful. I've got tinner from another brand, and somehow this one is significantly better. It coats more quickly and easily, and since using it I've had absolutely no problems with degradation of my solder tips.At the end of soldering, wipe off the solder from the tip and then gently put the tip into the tinner. It's like sand, but it melts on contact. Rotate the soldering iron and you've got full coverage. Simple. If there are areas where the tinner won't stick, those will need a bit of sanding.I didn't use to bother with tinner that much, and just went with some excess solder at the end of a soldering session. Predictably that didn't work out perfectly for me. The tin of tinner seems to basically last forever, so it's way cheaper than extra iron tips. Would strongly recommend, everyone should have a tin... of tinner.
