Hi all! Quick, probably basic question here. Of late, I am having problems tinning my soldering iron. The solder just balls up and doesn't flow on the tip. I have a brand new tip and the first time I tinned it, everything was normal. After solder a few joints, I went to retin the tip for storage. This is when the problem occurred. My iron is on 4 of 5 heat setting. My soldering station is a Weller WLC 100 and I'm using Johnson IA-423 solder. I'm not sure what's happening here, whether the tip doesn't need tinning, or the iron is too hot or too cold etc. I also have some rosin paste flux, but I'm not too sure how to use it, if that helps at all (and a quick lesson on this would be nice too)
Thanks in advance!
