I get that, but I wouldn't have thought using the same iron for both processes would contaminate things enough to cause a problem.. it was that I was wondering about though. PS. Most of my tips are higher temperature types (700'F IIRC), intended for lead free applications, but they work just fine on Leaded. -- Peter Clifton Electrical Engineering Division, Engineering Department, University of Cambridge, 9, JJ Thomson Avenue, Cambridge CB3 0FA Tel: +44 (0)7729 980173 - (No signal in the lab!)
