Ooops. Massively too big for the job with a tip the relative size and
shape of an aircraft carrier in comparison to a mini xlr terminal.

So, I see that different soldering irons need different tips, but, is
that just what they like to tell us, or can I use that tip for this?
It's quite a hefty hole for the tip, but I want quite a fine end. The
mini xlr I've practiced on is not the shape it should be any more.
I've got one more, and will have clamps and things set up better for
the next run.
