How to Decide Which Type of Flux to Use and How to Use Flux! - Workbench Wednesdays

Flux makes soldering easier; it removes oxide layers, gets contaminants out of the way, and makes for better joints. But there are so many different types of flux, and even more ways to apply it. This video goes over the different types of Rosin (R, RA, RMA), Resin, Organic, and Inorganic flux. Then it shows what kinds of residue get left over from the various types. It also explains why “No Clean" flux actually needs to be cleaned, in most cases. Not sure which flux to use? Check out this video! https://bit.ly/3QKuBiV
