I use “CHIPQUICK SMD291” Have been using it for years. Everyone has their favourite flux so you should try a couple of brands. I know a lot of people use “Amtech 559” Different fluxes burn away in different time spans so it comes down to soldering technique and how long you want the flux bubbling under the IC before it burns away.

@imicrosoldering would something like this eBay item link be suitable do you think?

Hi

Iv got a decent amount of soldering experience and from what I know is that most flux do the same thing you just need to get it from a reputable source because there are lots of knock offs

But from experience I would recommend something from amtech or chip quick (most people use these)

But don’t feel like it had to be one or the other because they all do a very similar job

Hopefully this answers your question

Thanks:-)

soldering iron you do want to slow down in adding your links. They all go the the same site. You have been on here for 12 years and by now you should recognize that this is getting pretty spammy.
