If it is a compatible flux, it will have the right solvent in it. That's a good idea.I use liquid rosin flux to rejuvenate my Kester R560. I tried isopropyl alcohol first and it made the paste splatter.
If a flux is listed as "Clean up with water" then use water. Otherwise alcohol or "solder flux remover" which was used at one place where I worked. I never read the fine print on the label to see what was in it.Hi.
My jar with soldering paste (not soldering flux) is getting drier and drier to the point of not being a paste. What solvent can bring its consistence back to more fluid ?
It is the microspheres type same as used/applied with stencils to PCBs
And some that don't. This isn't about removal but is about rejuvenation of solder paste that has dried out.There are a lot of readers.
I suggested checking what works for cleanup as a source of what kind of solvent will work to thin it. I thought that was rather obvious, but I guess that I was not clear enough.And some that don't. This isn't about removal but is about rejuvenation of solder paste that has dried out.
Stop giving so many targets.Quite enough throwing stones, really.
Yet again. Why would you thin or clean up oil based paint with linseed? But then again, that may work on planet Detroit.The concept being that a solvent suitable for cleanup would also work for thinning the mix. Like thinning oil based paint with linseed oil.
