I need to shorten the end of my solder iron so i have more control of
direction and make it more like a pen.....can i cut it down so my
fingers are nearer the tip without causing a problem.....thought it
might cause a problem with heat distribution and overheat..........i
have no clue about anything electric related

was also wondering what material i can rap around the rod as a grip to
hold it closer to the end if cutting is not an option......

many thanks in advance if you can advise......A
