I can't say enough about using flux for soldering. I often use the no clean flux with a metal tip dispenser. like mouser 577-SF-01
Although it seems that if you don't want to buy a gallon of liquid flux your getting a pen, which I dislike over the dispenser. It is a matter of taste. The other tip I have is that you have to use solder to desolder..... Steve On Thu, Jan 27, 2011 at 2:55 PM, Stephen Ecob <silicon.on.inspirat...@gmail.com> wrote: >> Flux is the secret...
