Description
All the major manufacturers of soldering tips have one thing in common, they all recommend that you “Tin Your Soldering Tips”. I.C. “Lead Free” Tip Tinner has been formulated to prolong soldering tip life in the harsh environment of No Clean & Water Soluble Fluxes. No halides. Residue Free. Rosin Free. Environmentally Safe.

Works exactly as expected, and left me with a very nice clean tip every time I used it. Cleaning with just water/sponge always left the tip a bit too cool, and the oxidization was starting to be a problem even with tinning the tip. After using this each time I used the iron, the problem resolved itself instantly. Love this, wouldn’t use my iron without it now.

Excellent product!! Carbon build-up on the iron tip is a pain in the butt, and it makes quality soldering damn near impossible. This product works immediately to restore the functionality of your soldering iron, and will save you from having to replace the tip. Just heat the iron up as normal, and clean the tip before dipping into the R&R lotion. One quick application will tin the tip, and have you back on the job in a jiffy! I would recommend and purchase again!

Cleans the tip, re-tins with silver solder. It works well, and puts a mirror-shine on a solder tip. That’s a pain to do with solder wire, and takes a few seconds with this stuff. It smokes like the end of the world (and the smoke stinks), but what can you do? The extra flux burns off any dross and leaves the tip ready for whatever comes your way.
I’m pretty sure I couldn’t live without it now. Buy some, and you won’t be sorry, if you do silver lead-free solder.

This stuff does its job quite nicely. I wish I knew of this a long time ago. For me, this tips nicely and let’s me get on with my work.

Makes re-tinning the iron easy as you don’t have to use your rosin-core solder and have the rosin eat the tip. Solder, clean, use this product, set into holder. When you want to solder again, just clean, add fresh solder, and work. Almost no smell at all and I do not find the odor that is does produce to be very offensive.
The product is very small and is filled to the top with the solid. Should still last a while though as you use very little of it every time you tin.

If you own a quality iron and have to pay for those tips then this is a great tool to keep the tips clean. will even clean up old RoHS black nastyness.
