[sdiy] soldering iron problem

[Anthony Rolando]

Crackheads? What are they using it for????

Btw, I think there is a problem with soldering iron. Like I said, I had already cleaned it very well, but the black gunk just kept on coming... now it appears that the tip has withered away! It is as though it burned p like a cigarette. A fairly new tip to.
