Is there a recommendation on small solder pots? I don't need one often, but there are times such as stripping several wires and/or tinning wires where it would be nice to just dip the wire into the pot to remove the insulation. I see some online for <$30. Are they any good?

My Weller solder station has a little one with cuts in it in the base of the holder. Whatever enamel contamination ends up of the iron tip comes right off and the tip is shiny and bright again. 73, Fred K6DGW - Northern California Contest Club - CU in the Cal QSO Party 1-2 Oct 2016 - www.cqp.org On 4/6/2016 10:29 AM, Richard Fjeld wrote: > I try to keep a working wood-burner pencil for jobs that will ruin the > tin on my soldering pencil. > I often clean the trash off the leads, or pencil, by wiping them with > a rag or cloth glove. > > Dick, n0ce ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected] ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
