MG Chemicals 8342 RA Rosin Flux Paste, Amber, 50 g Jar (8342-50G)

First time , but it works really clean and nice

I'm really happy that I made this purchase. This product is top of the line and leaves a very clean work area when you do soldering with it. I purchased this because I'd run out of my regular brand so I decided to give this one a try and it actually is better than the one that I used to use. I would recommend this to anyone who does any soldering with PCB boards. Make sure you do have a clean flux cleaner.

Great flux works perfect for fpv builds.

this is a must have product if your doing soldering. the rosin flux in solder line is not enough for most things even properly cleaned solder pads will benefit greatly from some more flux. this may not look like a lot but I have made hundreds of connections and still have most of it left. pro tip wear gloves this stuff is messy,sticky and does wash off your hands very easily with hand soap. though dish soap takes it off pretty easily. use this stuff outside and with a fan blowing over your work as flux is toxic and builds up in your system. having a headache for days was not fun.

The flux works really, REALLY well - as expected of MG Chemicals, but the way the syringe is put together is kind of annoying, since the plunger part keeps falling out.

Once I opened the container, the smell told me all I need to know. Perfect quality! I was going to give up on my soldering Iron tip as I couldn't clean the oxidized at all. Tried different method, unsuccessful. This paste cleand it in a matter of seconds. Although it's not good for soldering tips, but sometimes I have to use it. Just keep in mind to keep your soldering iron tip covered with tin to prevent it from corrosion.

For most of my projects this flux worked fine. However, for smaller items the flux causes a bunch of 2-10MEG shorts where you use it. It is really bad for stripboard/perfboard because of this. You will need to clean it several times (5 to 10) to get the shorts to go away. If you are doing very fine work or working with sensitive components such as mosfets, i recommend going with a different brand.

I bought a kit and I bought this just in case ,I am glad I did ! The flux in the kit did not work at any temp and with various tips. I switched to this flux and it worked the first time and it worked great.The solder had a constant flow and worked at any temp I tried it at. Just an FYI I was using my Weller station with a Weller pencil and tips. Great buy !
