Chipquik Tack Flux no clean in a 10cc syringe w/plunger & tip - SMD291

Love chipquik no clean flux

Not to familiar with flux but this flux does its job quite nicely. Makes desoldering, reflowing, and wicking a breeze. Only complaint is that it takes quite a bit of effort to squeeze out of the bottle but other than that it’s an excellent product.

As flux, this stuff works just fine, but Ive found it extremely troublesome to clean up. I usually like having my boards clean, especially if Im going to be handling them. Ive been unable to effectively clean this stuff off completely with either 91% isopropyl alcohol or MG 4140 flux remover, both with or without a fairly stiff brush. After soldering, the residue is either a very sticky goop or just straight rosin. Both are annoyingly hard to clean.

As far as flux goes this is exactly what I was looking for. Easy to set up and the syringe is easy to control the amount you want to add to what your working on, great quality. Price is steep but well worth it, I do wish it was easier to avoid the extra drip that happens after you stop using it, but nothing major still an excellent product, I highly recommend.

mmm ni buena ni mala

This is probably fairly difficult to find in many locations, but the Amazon price is competitive and helpful. It cleans up pretty easily with 90% isopropyl and a toothbrush.

Reduces the work of clesing after use And I use it for touch up and rework, attchment of BGA spheres, soldring flip chip components.

Expensive but a must have.

Love the dispenser and the flex works very well. Cleans up with alcohol nicely.

This is an amazing tacky flux for surface mount rework. I was able to remove and resolder a number of parts that were impossible using normal liquid flux. Some TSOPs, PLCCs, SSOPs...all were a ton easier to remove and resolder. Only issue is cleanup. This is super tacky and super resistant to IPA, flux remover....Though I dont think it really has to be removed in most cases. But its just having a sticky mess on the board that bothers me.
