Quick easy fix to clean off Plastic on a soldering iron you may be using for your Garden Projects or Craft project. I make holes in my totes, flora pots, storage containers, garden stakes and designs all using my old soldering iron.

Thanks for the tip!
Hey Robbie… thanks for your videos! They are awesome! A bit off topic, but I live in a neighborhood but I have no idea how many folks have hummingbird feeders. Since we have been putting ours out, we have had to increase the number of feeders. My question for you – when the pandemic is in a better place and we can actually safely leave home, what’s the best way to handle the feeders. We don’t have anyone who can come to update them for us. We would likely leave for a week. Our temps range during the day from 65-75. Can I just put out double the feeders? Should I use the stuff from the store with preservatives (EEK..!)? Hope you have a suggestion. I feel these birds are dependent on us! There are so many more now… Thanks!
Icecream container for the hummingbird feeder caught my eye- did a search on Robbie's page, titled "Ice Cream Hummingbird Feeder-EASY DIY Bird Feeder Nectar Recipe-Ant Tips Attract 100+ Birds & Oriole"
Exactly what I needed to know. Thank you.
What paint to use on these bird feeders?
Thank You!!!
Im just now feeding humming birds and i want a fountain for my patio to attract them 💞💃
Then whats that bump on it?
How did you know I was wondering how to do this? Thanks!
Thank for showing me how to clean mine works great 👍 👍👍👍👍👍👍
I just watched your video on how to make an ice cream hummingbird feeder. What fun. I especially liked your idea on keeping the ants out. Thank you. I have to go buy ice cream now. Bye.
I keep forgetting to pick one up. I saw your homemade nectar cups going to make one looked easy.
That was fast.
I love that hummingbird feeder you made. You’re soooo creative. ❤️
Excellent. Need to make first batch of Hummingbird feed. No hummingbirds yet but want to be ready for them.
That's what I need to get me – besides it's time to get the hummingbird feeders out. Still pretty cold here, but gotta get them out for the scouts😊
How do you make that hummingbird feeder. Awesome.
I needed this! I swear you are a mind reader! XxOoOO
Very beautiful !!!
great
Hi Robbie, I ordered a soldering iron "kit" that came with different sized tips including a blade cutter (looking at YOU, tote lid) The stand includes a small sponge (soak it first) to clean the tip. It works well but this is a good alternative 😊. Hi Gary and Kitty!
Kitty is so adorable.
What’s the water for?
That's unnecessarily complex. I've been using soldering irons for more than 60 years. Leave the iron plugged in. Take the paper towels or a natural sponge and wet them. Wipe off the iron. That's it. It's such a standard method that better irons have a stand with a sponge.
Love

What was the bowl of water for?
so what was the purpose of the water?
