Flux Not Listed in Soldering Rods

Completely ignore the "No Flux Required" part of the description. False advertising. I bought this to do some repairs on some aluminum parts and covers from old projects but a few connections I made before testing, the rod stuck to the base metal but just stayed on the surface no matter how hard I heated it. Share before or after. It will not expire during the connection period. I melted one part a little to try but it's still workable. Also, the tube I received was already open, and to make…

I don't know if it was because the aluminum surface wasn't clean enough. What I can say is that the joints that held up were great. Stronger than aluminum itself. I…

  • Solder and flux
