I just tried to solder some track for the first time. I have a 100 watt gun. It seems like it takes forever (2-3 minutes) for the rail to get hot enough to melt some solder. This is a new gun and clean tip. I have read here that some of you get capillary action. How? I can't seem to get enough heat on the rail to do much good. Any ideas??? HELP!!!! <br />Tim
