In other words, this is what is known as RMA Flux (Rosin Mildly Activated). Despite its sticky nature, it burns fairly cleanly off. There will be a small amount of yellow sticky residue left behind. There is no need to clean the residue from the board, it is safe to leave it there. You should only clean residue with alcohol if it is cosmetically unappealing. The following formulation is recommended if soldering performance and ease is a concern. There is truly no better game in the whole world Solder is often used as a repair and assembly tool in electronics.
There is a melting range labeled as 183 degrees C on this item
Copper pipes that do not transfer water can also be soldered with this solder. In my opinion, all lead-free solder can be used for plumbing No charge. The following is what I use it for copper pipes & tubing If you build coils and antennas for amateur radio, be sure to use tube.

Kester's products have been my everyday companions for over 40 years, and I can't remember ever being let down by them. Despite having changed extensively over the past four decades, maintaining and repairing electronics is a challenging task Components that are smaller and more heat-resistant I am extremely sensitive, and I am densely-packed With smaller boards comes an ever-smaller board size Tips must be in contact with the tip for shorter periods of time. As a lead-safety professional, I understand the need for lead-safety rules Lead-free solder is available on some products and/or in some situations, but I have yet to find one Free of lead, Kester's 63/37 allows for fast and accurate joining of solder joints with ease while also requiring the least amount of reworking Having a job. For my purposes, I will stick with 63/37, and take the appropriate precautions against inhalation or prolonged contact with my skin.
As opposed to the solder I had been using from Radio Shack, this is better quality and has a finer gauge. Since this solder has a lower melt point, I can turn down the temperature on my soldering iron and use it more sparingly. Even though this packaging is not as good a value as buying the same solder in a large spool from Kester, the amount here is exactly what I need, and the tube is convenient. As I work quickly with this, I do not have to sit in front of a large spool of thread. Having the convenience and usefulness of the material does not bother me at all if I have to pay a lot more for it per foot.
My grandfather was throwing away some solder, so he gave me a tube of this that at least he thought was older than me (22) and I freaking loved it. I was happy to discover you can still get it and the company is still around. I would definitely recommend this stuff. Led poisoning would likely drive you madder than a hatter, but unleaded solder will cause you to scream like a baby whilst doing it, and burn your entire body in the process.
An expert can try many things, but a handyman can get by with This is fantastic! There is no question that this is absolutely top quality GENUINE The products come in smaller, more affordable amounts and in convenient dispenser tubes. It's a massive catalog! If you've ever visited Kester's website or shopped from their distributors, you know how big it A guide to identifying the right alloys, fluxes, and coatings In terms of core type and flux, The percentage and wire diameter of the wire. The cost would be hundreds of dollars. There are several types of cords at CML Supply and you can try them out in real life. Or if you only need a little bit for a couple projects, you won't have to spend more than $40.
Since I have heard so many good things about this brand, I had to try it. It's a good solder and works well. I am not sure if I will keep buying it unless it happens to be on sale or something. It costs more than another brand of solder that works just as well , so I am not sure I will continue to buy it.
There is no need to use flux with this solder, because its core is rosin. There is nothing like it.
used to think I didn't have the knack for I was wrong, it was the crappy solder I was Having bought this stuff, I now have quads that look like they were built by a pro. Anyway, maybe someone who knows how to solder might be able to help. It makes a world of difference when you use good solder.
If you are working on an electronic project, it is always prudent to spend as much as possible on the solder. There's no substitute to the best you can get, and the right way is worth every penny.
