gEDA-user: Soldering tips

[Darryl Gibson <n2diy2@xxxxxxxxx>]

The other day I wanted to salvage some parts off a dead TV chassis,
but I didn't want to
use my good soldering tip to do so.

I had some solid 12 gauge house wire laying around, so I gave it a
try. I stripped a six inch
piece, folded it over on itself, and twisted it up like twisted pair
wire. It threaded into my
Weller SP23 iron, trimmed it to length, and it worked like a charm.

Now, if I can fashion a "tip" out of it, I may never buy another
commercial tip again?
