Thermaltronics TMT-TC-2 Tip Tinners should be used when the soldering iron tip is unable to be re-tinned by using cored solder or normal electronic grade fluxes.

For best results roll or wipe the soldering tip at normal soldering temperature over the surface of the TMT-TC-2 for a few seconds to produce local melting. There is no need to use heavy pressure or a scrubbing action. Prolonged contact may form excessive fume.

The residue on the tip is non-corrosive and may be removed by wiping the tip onto brass curls or a damp (not wet) sponge.
