I bought this when I started working as a glass artist. Ignoring the fact of liquid, paste and gel fluxes. I didn't really see that as a problem as a new artist. But I would find that I had to use it often. He seems to go where he wants, he's just like water. It has no stickiness. There are also spatters when soldering. I don't think a bad rating is fair as these things are more about preference and what other materials you can use (tape, soldering iron, etc.). I've since switched to paste and prefer it, but haven't tried gel either. Rschunimagu. I'm definitely keeping a bottle, it will make a big difference in terms of quantity in the bottle. Also, I want to switch between them to see the results. I had slight oxidation and was advised to try the paste. But I also changed other things that could be causing this. I can say that it definitely cleans better than the paste. Also not greasy like pasta! In such cases, I would definitely go for this type, this brand! I'll experiment and see if I can edit reviews. I'm sorry if I can't help.
