If your solder does not have a rosin core(or some other type of flux) you need flux. We are soldering here not welding 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are soldering here not welding The solder I bought from Parts Express (silver bearing) did not have flux and works great on PC boards. What gives? I've also used it on copper wire with no issue. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 My bad, it appears it does have flux. You can't see it though. 4% silver content for higher electrical conductivity than standard solder 96% tin for predictable solder flow Halogen-free flux for use on precious metals 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rosin core is clearly visible on all the rosin core solder I've ever used. The Parts express stuff doesn't show any signs of flux. I guess it's mixed into the solder somehow. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could buy hammers but not nails (or vice versa, I forget) on Sundays. Hardware stores would rope off aisles of taboo items on Sunday to keep you from working. It was crazy. Sundays in the grocery stores here you can buy beer and wine but only after noon. Liquor stores are closed on Sundays. We had a blue law here years ago, not anymore. But you can only buy beer in this town no hard liquor, dry county, and everyone knows you can not get drunk on beer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be too warm for a proper roadie. The key word there is "proper", much worse things have been done. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
