Hi: New to soldering.
Have new Weller 35W "professional" iron with tip and separate new Weller tip. The conical ST-7 tiny tip stopped "working" after a few hours today (first use of the tip), although I wet-sponged and tinned during the soldering time. Very thin lead-free solder takes minutes to melt and rolls off the tip. The screwdriver tip which came with the iron works fine.
Question: Is this tip done for? Or could non-acid flux revive it?
Queston: Might this be something I caused?
