I did sort of try that, but I guess I'll have to dig up the old 30w iron. I have the 15w one here I was doing micro-soldering with, but I think I need a bigger blob.
Hmm ... well I've fixed headphones about 3 times this way and I'm using a 15w iron ... maybe you need to add solder whilst that's happening, I believe the flux in the solder will help (I generally put the solder on and have the wire in the solder blob within a second so I guess it still has some residual flux sitting there that's enough to make the solder take) ...
Hey Ramond... The 30w iron tinned the enamel coated wires in a few seconds. I re-tried the 15w iron, and held the darn wire in a huge solder blob hanging from the end of the wire for more than a minute, and the wire came out looking good as new! Tough stuff whatever kind of enamel compound they're using there!
Matt
