Its a roll of solder which is melted to stick certain metals together and probably most well known for being used to stick electronic parts together. If you stab the soldering iron through it like this the roll would melt into itself and you would have to cut the strands off of the glob and use the cut pieces or just waste it and get a new one.

He stuck the soldering iron right in the roll of solder. This pretty much ruins it.
