Sal Ammoniac

One of the things I kept forgetting to buy and had a stained glass project that needed completed in a few day and it arrived quicker that I had planned.

This works effectively. It is an old timer's solution but it is more effective than some of the "Modern" ways of cleaning up a soldering iron tip. Highly recommended. This block will last a long, long time. Don't file or sand off the soldering tip. Look on YouTube for demonstrations of how to use it. Be a little bit patient in performing the process of heating the soldering tip in contact with the sal amoniac block. If you haven't damaged the plating on the soldering tip, you'll return the tip to like new condition.

A lab tech told me years ago this stuff was horrible to use on a solder iron, deteriorated the tip fast. I don't know about that but when you inherit a solder iron that just does not wet, this is the tool to get it cleaned up.

It’s bigger than I expected will last a life time 💕

Great product, highly recommended but I'm guessing the person writing the description is a man cause they boast 5" but whipping out the ole measurey device and I get 3 1/4" x 2" x 3/4" . It says it has an expiration date, I'll know more in 2026...

Works well. Easy to use. Good value.

product performs as expected

this stuff is miraculous for cleaning soldering iron bits/tips of all sorts, particularly prior to running. Especially great for when I use DIY pure copper bits in cheaper irons for automotive work. This soap-bar sized block will last you a LONG time, it's a fantastic value. Anyone that does a lot of soldering should have a block of salammoniac among their soldering tools, nothing makes cleaning and extending the life of soldering bits so easy.
