I recently picked up a syringe of Chipquik SMD291 tack flux to play around with, I’m just getting into doing smd stuff… and I find myself using it for just about everything because it’s so easy to use, works a treat, and is fairly easy to clean up. What flux do you like to use? Do you have different ones for different uses, or do you tend to just use one for everything?

    Ive seen Voultar recommending the MG Chemicals no clean flux. I have to wonder if that stuffs any better? Looks like its mostly alcohol though.

      I’ve been meaning to try that clear stuff. Honestly, avoid the rosin no clean at all costs. If you really need the rosin, in my opinion you’d be better off with the old school flux jelly. Easier to clean off. I wish I was kidding.
