Default How Do You "TIN" a soldering iron?

Ah what cobblers you speak.
Some copper pressure vessels are soldered. Copper pipes are almost
always soldered.
Countless domestic pots and pans and kettles were soldered in the
past.
Lead pipes were soldered.
Electric cable carrying thousands of amps can be soldered for the
electrical connection and mechanical support.
Tinplate toys were soldered.

If you can pull apart your soldered joint, you don't know how to
solder.


The examples you gave are (mostly) not subject to mechanical stress.

I'll bet I could pull apart YOUR soldered (only) wire joint. I'll bet my CAT
could probably pull apart your soldered joint. Heck, your soldered wires
would probably fall apart out of shame.

I'll further bet an insane ostrich couldn't pull mine apart.
