Review on Victory Stained Solder 60 40 by Temarquis Lopez

Revainrating 1 out of 5

I have a BAD batch in Welding and Soldering

I bought many rolls of this solder a few months ago because of the good reviews and have been very pleased with both the quality and the price I am using it for satisfied my painted glass. As my supply was running low I decided to order a few more rolls but this time something strange happens and the solder is not attracted to the fluxed copper foil. It doesn't flow properly, it doesn't bead, it doesn't pull to the foil and it behaves like there is no flux. There's a lot of thread so I don't know what's going on. Just to be sure, I opened a new pack of EDCO foil, which I always use, and opened a new bottle of flux, and the problem didn't go away. I then tried a different brand of solder on the board and it flowed well so the problem was found in this batch of Victory solder. I don't know why this batch is bad but it is and I am very disappointed. I will be returning these rolls as they are simply unusable. Full of crap.

Pros
  • Solder and Flux
Cons
  • Repair
