[Elecraft] Source and causes of poor solder joints?

[Stephen]

======================== snip
I don't use a sponge, 
however. I use a 'curly' stainless steel kitchen pot 'scrubbie' and 
need only to plunge the tip down into the scrubbie to clean it off 
without losing any of the tip temp to the moisture of a damp sponge. 
=========================

FWIW Maplins (the uk equivalent of radioshack) sell a commercial equivalent
Based on recycled brass swarf. Anyone with access to a lathe cold easily
turn one up.
