[Milsurplus] Weller Iron Frustrations

[Boeing377]

I use NEVER SEEZ, a graphite loaded anti seize grease that's conductive. Works well on my Weller gun. 

It is very messy so be sure to get it off the exterior after your thread the tip. It is a terrific anti seizure lube used in many commercial marine applications. Old engine bolts and rigging fasteners come out so smoothly even decades later if their threads were treated with NEVER SEEZ. If you can stand the mess it's a great rust preventer too. We used it on exposed turnbuckle threads with great results.

I have no connection to the mfr, just a long time satisfied user. Second gen too, my Dad was never without a can on our commercial fishing boat.
