Forget cheap nasty soldering irons, if you intend to do more, buy a good one.
You can either use a wet sponge or a brass wool tip cleaner, i use both, i also tap it on cardboard sometimes.
I also keep a small desk fan going.

Also are you using an iron with a very pointy tip? Something with a flatter tip might work better

Hi guys,
Sorry for the delay on replying. My mate has decent soldering gear so when he has time he is going to give it a go for me.
I have a soldering iron from a Jaycar outlet store. Its country Vic electronics / auto parts store.
Its a conical tip not flat. No temperature control knob. Salesperson said it will do the job. I haven't opened it yet and still have the receipt.
I have just started a new build posted in this general forum so I'll continue there.
When my mate finishes the soldering on this one I'll upload some audio.
This wont be anytime soon though. He is interstate
Cheers Alkay.
