do you have to use a tip gel/cleaner to keep the wire flow continues without clogging up

Haven't used any, maybe I should try it. Some times the electrode gets tacked to the tip but I think it's my fault for getting to close.

I haven't used any myself! I haven't had much problem but all I really use it for is tacking jobs on aluminum!

I can't answer that.... The dang cover that holds the spool in falls off so frequently that it's nearly impossible to weld long enough to annilyze tip clogging.

To answer your question directly, it is not madatory but it does help. Tinning the tip(s) only takes a small amount of solder and helps the solder heat and flow easier. Just allow the iron to get hot, apply a bit of solder and then wipe clean. Use a rosin core solder with a thickness appropriate for the job. On circuit boards use a thin diameter (.093 or smaller) and then larger as the wire diameter increases. Hope this helps, I was a NASA certified solderer 40+ years ago when I worked in the R&D; Lab on the Apollo program.

Not that I've seen, I used it on my all my bonsai trees 2 times and no buildup or clog was present.

None, pressure will remain but flow will be effected to a small degree.Backwash it by reversing it's direction and flushing debris out.Great product and price.

soap and water or for tough deposits you can use the spray Oreck offers. Let it air dry. Don't scrub or you risk damaging the fine wires, if there are any.

Just use a q-tip to clean the back plate. Close your eyes and blow on the coils to clear away any stray hairs. I never had any stick to the coils. A very small brush also works to brush away the hair and debris.

I have not had a problem with the pump bottle. There has been no clogging ofProduct. I use the gel everyday and love it.

I did the same thing. It's been working fine. There are several flow regulating tips that come with it also.

First of all, don't leave the nozzle attached to the tube after using. Remove the nozzle and replace the cap. Leaving on the nozzle will cause the whole tube to dry out.I find that the best thing for keeping Goop is to put Vaseline on the threads of the tube. That both makes a better seal with the cap, to keep it from drying out, as well as making it much easier to get the cap back off when you want to use it again.As for the nozzle, it's often a one-use piece. But you can get multiple uses if you place a large screw into the still wet Goop in the nozzle. Put the screw in from the large end, not the pointy end. Then you can "usually" pull out the plug of dried goop from the nozzle using pliers on the screw. First of all, don't leave the nozzle attached to the tube after using.

Yeah , you just have to be careful when you do it midtream to not go past that line. I have dipped it and used it midstream.

Yes, and the extra tip does not change the pattern, it just increases the flow using the same pattern....what kind of pattern are you looking for?

Always do prep....clean with wire brush as best as possible....remove any oil or grease by cleaning with denatured alcohol or some comparable solvent

I clean the screw-on tip every time I refill the bottle. I just soak it for a few minutes in a container filled with antibacterial dish soap. This prevents any build up problems. If you already have an accumulation of dirt, I would recommend using a q-tip

Bend back the blue wire, if you don't need ac and tape it to the other cable or sleeve it with split conduit(wallmart), this should keep it looking clean

If you understand that extension cords, like other forms of wire, as well as hoses, are manufactured in "coils", and like to return to their natural state when storing you'll be OK. You just have to let them naturally coil, as you wind it up. It will involve a little twisting by you, to get the wire to neatly coil, but it's not a big deal at all.

We have a short line to cespool on a very small tank and it keeps roots out good.We have to flush 2 times so on a long line you would have to put directly in tank or flsh more so it gets to tank and and does not stay in line.My 2 cents but ask Roebic lab there take.Fred.

You have to use the BLACK TIP nozzle. It's a lower pressure Tip. Read the instructions.
