The other day I wanted to salvage some parts off a dead TV chassis, but I didn't want to use my good soldering tip to do so.
I had some solid 12 gauge house wire laying around, so I gave it a try. I stripped a six inch piece, folded it over on itself, and twisted it up like twisted pair wire. It threaded into my Weller SP23 iron, trimmed it to length, and it worked like a charm. Now, if I can fashion a "tip" out of it, I may never buy another commercial tip again? -- Darryl Gibson N2DIY Linux, free software for everybody.
