    What do you think about this flux?

    I'm definitely a newbie when it comes to using flux in the paste form. What is your opinion on this stuff which I'm currently using? Is there something similarly priced that you find better? Looking at general re-work on laptop boards.

      I've not used the ChipQuick flux, but since I started to use Amtech-599 I've not needed to look for anything better.

          Ok, I've ordered some of the 559 from Rossman. Stuff is expensive ($27shipped), so I hope it does wonders like most seem to think

              Yes, from personal experience it's awesome stuff. One application lasts ages plenty of time for removal and refitting of components with hot air/soldering iron and messing around.
              And it smells nice, not that flux/soldering fumes should be inhaled.
              I pay around £18 for 10cc or £30 for 30cc delivered from the UK supplier.

                  Or I have to purchase "3m novec flux remover" which is quite expensive in my nation?

                  Flux causing high resistance short?
                  by evilkitty
                  Now that my de-soldering gun is working i was able to remove this panel i made about a week before i noticed a issue the F segment of digits 2 and 3 would go out, digit 2 would go before digit 3, but would come back after the humidity got down from running the ac (note the weather outside is 30.5 / 74%; panel data is from a BME280)


                  Temp is on the left humidity is on the right

                  i noticed when the humidity got up one or 2 of the center digits on the right panel would loose a segment

                  The pin out looking down from the top is (note this is common cathode)...

                  How can I remove flux with the smallest rubbing?
                  by chth96
                  I have tried to bridging tiny broken trace which is shown in the below link,and I found that it is impossible to remove any flux after soldering task.
                  Is it possible bridging tiny broken trace - Badcaps - Capacitor Search Engine​​
                  Because the 0.02 mm copper wire is very very fragile,So It broke itself very easily whenever I tried to rub excess flux with cotton bud.
                  Is there any way to remove flux with the smallest rubbing or without any rubbing?
                  Any reply would be appreciated.

                  Non darkening Flux?
                  by tony359
                  Hi all,

                  I was watching a video from NorthWest Repair (The guy there is just doing such incredible repairs) and while he was fixing a bunch of pads on a GPU PCB, I saw this



                  I've been trying to fix some broken traces on a PS3 CPU for a while but one major issue I'm seeing with my AMTECH flux is that it gets tacky and dark very quickly and then it's a pain to remove and replace.
                  In the video Tony (I think it's his name) seems to suggest that I am just using the wrong flux?

                  Any thoughts or ideas?
