I've not bothered trying to add flux to it when it does. I keep a few containers of Best-605 on hand for home projects. I hav a few containers of Mechanic i bought to try, but haven't used yet. I'm guessing it all comes from the same 55 Gallon drum ;-)
SRA Solder repackages lead based and lead free solder paste in hobby friendly quantities (10 - 250 gr) at generally rational prices. Not nearly as cheap as the Chinese 'brands' off eBay. Good customer service and quick shipping though. http://www.sra-solder.com/soldering-brazing-supplies/electronic-grade-solder-paste I'll use chipquick or Kester paste from Mouser or Digikey for paid projects. -- mailto:o...@ozindfw.net Oz POB 93167 Southlake, TX 76092 (Near DFW Airport) _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
