TechNetters, I've noted with interest the discussion of Metcal and other
soldering irons over the past few days.  A question has come up here about
care of Metcal tips.  We've gone to some lengths to eliminate RMA flux from
the plant.  However, Metcal recommends tinning tips with RMA-flux wire
solder.  We would like to use no-clean flux to tin tips.  How risky would
such a practice be?  Any comments would be greatly appreciated.  I called
Metcal for advice and found the people I talked with to be very pleasant
and eager to help.  But no data were available, and, frankly, the people
 sounded very youthful.  Lou Hart
