Hi all, After a year or so, I've started playing around with my compact Macs again. Top of my list of things to do is getting to work on the 69-odd bad solder joints and four or so fried components on my Colour Classic that wants to be a Mystic.
To get the best possible repair quality and to hopefully make the whole thing go by a bit quicker, I've decided to use some soldering flux for the first time. I picked up a tube of Radio Shack (Non-Spill Paste) Rosin Soldering Flux in the 1oz. tube, but am a bit wary of the warnings on the back. For instance, when heated this stuff will "expose you to chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer." Scary stuff, but then again so do cigarettes and you don't drop dead from smoking just one of those. Anyway, what precautions should I take with this stuff? I've already decided to do this outdoors, and was considering one of those funky filter masks, though I'm pretty sure those only stop particulate matter and not vapours. Anyone?
