10cc Syringe with Plunger & Tip - SMD291 Chipquik Tack Flux No Clean Review

I was very disappointed when I received this item as I expected it to come with a needle tip for applying flux is supplied. In my case there was none. I just made my own a few minutes ago but haven't tried using it yet

This is a real breakthrough. I'm an amateur and I regret not having found this material ten years ago. It's easy to use. The plunger fitted well and didn't fall out as some other reviews have mentioned. Tip: A smear is enough. If you want to clean up afterwards, rubbing alcohol is great. I highly recommend this item.

Excellent flux. Saved me tons of time using SMD parts and smaller pads. Not too sticky (doesn't necessarily hold parts) but requires rubbing alcohol to clean. It doesn't seem to get in the way of circuitry at all, but becomes very sticky and somewhat irritating once heated (although 91% iso alcohol and lint-free cloths will take care of that).

This is an amazing sticky flux for surface mount repairs. much easier to remove and solder. The only problem is cleaning. It is very sticky and very resistant to IPA, a flux remover. Although I don't think it really needs to be removed in most cases. But my only concern is the sticky mess on the board.

A good soldering flux is essential when soldering surface mount components. You can never use too much and it was easy to clean. TIP: I have found that the easiest way to clean metal dispensing tips is to soak them briefly in alcohol and then blow out the air compressor nozzles. Press the nozzle firmly against the plastic end to prevent air from escaping and material will be blown right through the end.

This solder paste works great - pulls out of the tube with little effort and is easy to work with. Just put on disposable gloves and clean up thoroughly after the stations. So far I've made a few SMD boards - just glued them together, placed the parts and baked them in a reflow oven, I mean a special oven for a toaster oven. Works well. This is NOT lead free solder. It is poisonous. Be sure to follow all recommendations to protect yourself, your family and the environment.

This flux is well suited for both leaded and lead-free solders. Flux dispensing can cause flux to leak through the rubber stopper seal. With the included tip (much larger diameter) this will not happen. I had to use a 30 gram needle to apply the flux to a tiny pad. I'm not going to take the plunger out, clean it, and pour perfectly smooth flowing flux back into the syringe. So far the flux has not seeped back past the end of the open end of the syringe. Hopefully repackaging the syringe isn't…
