Sterilite tub for adult ball python.

Thanks I am sick and tired of my screen top tank. I cant clean the corners and i have to be very careful when i move it so i dont drop it. A plastic tub is great i can throw it across the room and it will not break (without jojo in it of course). All thanks to an incredible material we call plastic. LOL

Just buy a new tip and use that one, then set it aside for doing non-soldering stuff.

ROTFLMAO! I'd forgotten how protective I used to be of my soldering iron! You're right! Definitely get a dedicated tip for melting plastic!

Actually, I keep a damp sponge by my side when using the soldering iron and clean the tip multiple times while using it and never put it back with any residue left on it. Of course, it is mine so nobody else really can complain about it anyway. ;)

That's actually been disproved now. Ambient is better than belly heat.

WOW resurrected from the dead, this thread is 11 years old! LOL
