@elilla you just put tin on the tip? I don't think there's anything to it

at the small manufacturer where I learnt to solder they had some leaded solder around to clean tips that seemed to work much better than the unleaded stuff but it might've just had more flux in it. I also really like those copper sponges to clean tips instead of wet sponges
