💧 10ml (0.34oz) Chip Quik CQ4LF Liquid Flux No-Clean Pen with Tip Review

I took this with the intention of reflowing the BT/WIFI chip on my old PS3 but just couldn't get enough tip for my needs. In the end I carefully detached the marking head from the body with pliers and drew up enough liquid with a syringe. I used what I needed for the reflow and put the unused part back into the marker and replaced the head. I am very happy with the viscosity and plan to use it in future hobby rations. It also comes with a spare tip in case you run out of the original.

Much better than flux paste. You just "write" on your PCB where you are going to solder and it does the job. I shake it very well so the tip gets wet. That seems to get better joints. Again, I'm still a beginner here, so I could be wrong. The only downside I would say is that the liquid flux dries on your components fairly quickly so you can't just mark them first and then solder them all. You need to apply it to a few components, solder them and then make the next N components. It's worth your

So I bought it to add some flux to some old solder joints so I can desolder some components. The pen should not contain enough flux to make it usable. The board was as dry as the solder joints I was trying to remove after using the pen for an hour. Next time I'll buy flux in a syringe or in a can with a brush. Pros: nice shape, spare tip included. Cons: It takes a lot of effort to get the flux into the tip. Parts processed at the tip have a habit of picking up applied flux.

If you've ever seen a professional or amateur who knows what they're doing, soldering seems so easy. They just touch the solder where they want and Boom is done. Glad they have a secret. these are things. Place it where you want the solder to stay and it will stay there. I use Traxxas connectors on my RC cars. They're fine, but difficult to solder because the bead can't go through a certain point or the connector doesn't assemble properly. Just run your pencil where you want the solder and it…

Easy to use Makes re-soldering liquid like water after flux. Excellent results. Had to be used for an emergency circuit board and 5 ICs for a robotic surgical machine during a 7 hour kidney transplant. The operation continued when she stopped using 2 directions on one of the arms (shoulders) soldered with this flux, which speeded up the work. Which could be deadly. Repaired my hand. Experienced. a new (donor) kidney was inserted, the surgeons connected it, and the blood flow was turned on. The…
