    Good advise by all. I like the pencil iron maybe from my experience with HO train days. Clean the end by drawing across a damp towel or if a lot of build up, a fine file. Not mentioned was not to use an acid flux core solder as the acid will work into your coil and destroy the internals. Also use a thin solder like 1/16".
