OMG, someone's still using the Wood Burning Tool as a soldering 
iron?  They run WAY too hot for soldering.  You will forever thank 
yourself if you replace it with a Weller.  Even the simplest, AC 
Weller with no temperature control is a big step up.  I have an 
ancient WTCP (temperature controlled) soldering station I bought in 
the '70s that is still going strong (though it is not my main 
soldering implement these days).  I think they still make a version 
of that.  Buy one and you'll wonder how you ever soldered without it.

Best regards,
