Re: Solder differences and desoldering tools/technique
Speaking of solder, I have some noname 99.3/0.7 (Sn/Cu) lead-free solder. It is supposedly "rosin core" flux but when I cut a piece of the solder wire off, the "core" looks white-ish.
Recently I got a small tub of pipe solder flux, and this stuff is white (!!!).
This is 0.4mm wire solder so it's definitely not for pipes. Anyone know what kind of in-wire flux this is? I sure hope it's not the white acidic flux.
Incidentally, when heated and vaporized, this stuff does smell like rosin. Just looks too light colored to be rosin...?
