TO prepare you must dip in the flux first make sure you go enough on there then take a blob of solder on you iron and place the wire in the middle of blob of solder and wait will you see black liquid substance fill your solder. Then you pull the wire out it may have some enamel residue on it so whip your blob of solder on the sponge light to get off the black stuff then place the wire in the blob again and should tin it.

I also use hairlike wires from headphones, just use Soldering Paste for clean and easy soldering. Dip your wire to soldering paste, and dip also your soldering iron to clean the tip, apply small amount of soldering lead to your soldering iron, and solder the wire to zif. Kabayan.

Yes I did just ordinary tip. If you apply soldering paste it will work clean.

Here is my old soldering iron. Still using it for my projects.
