How to tin with a soldering iron
First of all, I think you should have a high-quality soldering iron. Why? Because the surface of the soldering iron tip of a high-quality soldering iron will have a layer of metal coating to prevent oxidation. Generally speaking, with this layer of metal coating, the soldering iron tip will not be oxidized. Although the tin on the soldering iron tip will be oxidized, it will not be oxidized to the soldering iron tip. If the soldering iron tip is not tinned, simply wipe off the oxidized tin on a sponge soaked in water, as the soldering iron tip will not be oxidized and can be easily tinned.
Remember, never polish, otherwise the metal coating will be damaged and the soldering iron tip will be useless.

If the appeal method is not feasible, the second method is guaranteed to be effective. When the soldering iron is not plugged in, use a file to file the soldering iron tip until it is shiny, and then wrap the soldering iron tip with tin wire. Finally, plug in the electricity and wait for the tin wire to melt. This method is the best one I have felt for many years, and it hits every shot.
Finally, it is important to ensure that there is always tin on the soldering iron tip, especially when not in use, otherwise the tin will oxidize and it will be difficult to solder again.
New Loctite can be directly melted onto the Loctite head with solder wire containing rosin, because the Loctite head is specially treated. If it cannot be tinned, it can also be used in conjunction with rosin. While heating the Loctite, the Loctite head can be inserted into the rosin and the solder wire melted, which can generally solve the problem.
If the Loctite head is an old Loctite head with severe oxidation, you can use a craft knife or fine sandpaper to clean the oxidation on the Loctite head, then heat it to invade the rosin and melt it onto the Loctite head with solder wire, because rosin has a cleaning effect and can assist in soldering tin wire.
The temperature of the Luo iron head should generally not be too high, as it is easy to burn out the Luo iron head if it is too high.
