The TS-1545 has put in its hours and the tip or element is dragging down your solder joints. Rather than binning a perfectly good iron, swap the 30W 2.6mm conical tip/element assembly.
This spare fits the Jaycar TS-1545 directly. Drop it in, re-tin the surface, and you're back to pulling clean fillets. One part, no new iron
