Me too, I stuck the pad in an old plastic cup a long time ago and haven't
had a problem since

I use a PTF7 solder tip on my WTCPT and recently found that after about
5 minutes of use, the tip suddenly starts to develop a thick char at the
end and makes the solder turn dark.
I use a Brillo pot scrubber (copper, not plastic). Just stick the tip
in and work it up and down 3 or 4 times. Works real fine, lasts a
long time.
