Re: Henley Solon iron
I have a Henley Solon 25 watt soldering-iron that gets occasional use on valve equipment where the tip isn't too bulky. A member of this forum provided a brand-new tip a while ago. Ages ago, I read something about placing a shim of suitably-sized aluminium foil between the tip and the aluminium tip-holder when replacing the tip. This prevents the build-up of crud and subsequent seizing of the bit, but I think occasional removal is also a good idea.
