BEC Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 You dampen the sponge with water and wipe the tip of the iron on the sponge to clean it. The sponge stays in the area on the base below the iron. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrWho Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 ...and the reason you keep the sponge wet is so that you don't burn it (the water will evaporate at a temp below the burning point of the sponge). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwc Posted May 23, 2006 Author Share Posted May 23, 2006 Wow. What a nice setup. When that solder iron gets hot, you can use that sponge to wipe the sweat off your forehead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrWho Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 lol, I highly recommend you go practice making some cables or some other cheap project where it doesn't matter if your burn stuff up. You're crazy [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
