I recently upgraded my soldering iron from a hobby grade Weller model to the venerable Weller WTCPT. I prefer using the long conical tips (PT0n) but the only one my vendor had in stock at the time was the PT08 (8 = 800 degrees F). I know that Paul recommends the 700 degree tips, so my question: are the 800 degree tips too hot for the job? I really don't want to wait for a mail order of the 700 degree tips to arrive before I resume soldering. Thanks in advance for any advice. Kevin
