Things to consider
- The tub size is not stated in the title, so check the photos to see how much you get.
- Heating flux paste gives off fumes; work in ventilation.
- A tip that is badly pitted or worn through will not recover, so it may be time for a new tip.
- Seller feedback is 94.2%, a bit under many listings here.
- Most US orders arrive in about 7 to 21 days, faster when the listing is marked Choice. Import duties may be added to the total or collected at delivery, so compare the final total, not just the item price.

Frequently asked questions
How do I use tip refresher paste?
Heat the iron, dip the tip in the paste, then wipe it on a damp sponge or brass wool. Tin it with fresh solder afterward.
Can it fix a black, oxidized tip?
It is made for that. Pitted or eroded tips usually cannot be restored.
Is it worth buying with a new iron?
It helps if you let tips go cold untinned. Keep the tip tinned after each use and the paste lasts longer.
How long does shipping take to the US?
Delivery to the US typically takes 1 to 3 weeks. Choice-labeled listings and items stocked in the US tend to come faster. If it never arrives, shows up damaged or does not match the listing, you open a dispute through AliExpress Buyer Protection. Return terms can differ by item, so check the listing.

What is AliExpress's return policy?
Eligible items can be returned within 90 days of payment, with the first return on each order free, according to AliExpress's 2024 US announcement. Return terms vary by seller and item, so check the product page. Custom, perishable and hygiene items are generally excluded.
How long does AliExpress take to ship?
AliExpress's 2024 US guarantee listed Choice orders at 5 to 12 days and standard orders at 8 to 14 days, but real-world standard shipping from China often runs longer. Items marked Ship from United States come from local stock. Free shipping on Choice orders depends on a minimum order shown at checkout.
Does the Soldering Tip Refresher Cleaning Paste come with a warranty?
