How to remove warts at home with a soldering iron

Todd Harrison says: "I use a Weller solder iron to burn off a stubborn wart that I have tried to freeze off many times and failed." He observes, "It'll be a scar – but it won't be a wart anymore."

Hackaday has the blow-by-blow:

Day two is obviously not too good, with a swollen blister which is "not the best looking thing". Around day eight (@5:39), he cuts the skin while doing some yard work, but nothing a band-aid can't fix. By day fourteen (@6:41), parts of the skin are dried and ready to fall off. He uses his handy and trusted diagonal cutters (naturally!) to snip off the skin with the dead wart. From then on, he's on his way to full recovery and all back to normal a mere forty days later.
