Hi all,
I have a likely quick question that I would appreciate your feedback on, if possible ...
As it is I have a Weller WSP-80 soldering iron and occasionally the contact surface between the heater element and the tip is "scaled" with a grayish layer of "something". I reckon this may limit the heat transfer between the heater element and the tip, however, the user manual - as far as I can see - has no advice on how to remove it without damaging the tip or heater element surfaces.
Any chance someone here knows how to do this safely?
Cheers & thanks for any help in this
Jesper
