Just Bring the Salt to the Soldering Iron! This Man is a Genius!

Just Bring the Salt to the Soldering Iron! This Man is a Genius! What You’ll Need:
Soldering Iron
Standard soldering iron with a clean tip.
Table Salt (Sodium Chloride)
Common household salt.
Workpiece (Metal Surface or Wires)
The object to be soldered or cleaned.
How It Works:
When salt comes into contact with the hot soldering iron, it melts and reacts with oxidation or contaminants on the metal surface. This reaction can help clean and prepare the metal for better solder adhesion.

Applications:
Cleaning Oxidized Metal Surfaces:

Salt acts as a mild abrasive and helps remove oxidation from metal surfaces when combined with heat.
Improves solder adhesion by providing a clean surface.
Improved Soldering on Difficult Surfaces:

For stubborn joints or dirty metals, applying salt can help remove impurities and make solder flow more easily.
Desoldering Assistance:

Salt can sometimes assist in breaking down old solder, making desoldering easier in repairs.
Steps to Use Salt with Soldering Iron:
Heat the Soldering Iron:

Allow the iron to reach its working temperature.
Apply Salt:

Sprinkle a small amount of salt onto the metal surface or directly onto the soldering tip.
Work the Salt into the Surface:

Use the soldering iron to melt the salt and rub it against the surface.
Watch as the oxidation or dirt dissolves.
Wipe Clean and Proceed with Soldering:

Clean the area with a cloth or sponge.
Proceed with soldering on the now-clean surface.
