The irons I am using are 30 watt cone point, similar to the diamond 
point and a 100 watt.

Seems I should get a quality iron and quit with the toy stuff.

The Ungar stuff I looked at on the Web was 700 deg, interchangable 
tip stuff.

do you have any model numbers ? or series number ?

My wife's Weller is a Stained glass unit, I think it is a W100 model 
with self contorlled temperature tips.
