Soldering with large solder bars removes a lot of heat from the tip, the recovery time would take too long if the iron was turned down.

File all sides until all of the old solder is gone and you see bright shiny copper. Then re tin the iron with a salamoniac block and NEW 50/50 solder; re tinning with old or dirty solder makes it twice as hard it seems. Thanks for reading!!

I love it, its just a bit big for my hand weight wise. It is and old one by the looks of the cord and I think it may have been mistreated since I am having difficulty tinning it.
