We use water soluble fluxes exclusively. But, I beg to differ. One must be very fussy. It is not a messy process, but, it much easier to have the result look very good and still bite you with latent defects. For solder training, absolutely. No mess no fuss. -----Original Message----- From: TechNet [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Stadem, Richard D.

What is the best setup for hand soldering as far as solder / cleaner? Rosin core? Water soluble? No-Clean? What cleaner too? I've been using rosin core with various cleaners but I have a hard time with the white residue the cleaners leave. Thanks Ken ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
