Tip of soldering iron not hot
« on: February 01, 2009, 08:00:57 PM »
Hello.the tip of my soldering iron isn't that hot. It is hotter on the sides that lead up to the tip than the actual tip. What can I do to make it hotter. I have the same one that's from the shop.

your tip may be bad or the iron could have gone bad
