Soldering Flux Paste 100g

Just like my dad used to keep in his garage, does the job perfectly - (That smell brings back some good memories)

Used it for very many years for electrical, brass, copper, zinc- plated steel, and many other applications. Consistently good, and inexpensive - lasts for years.

does the job fine

I bought this flux for a very specific job (soldering aluminium bronze). I'll say right off the block that the flux performed perfectly and allowed me to complete the job in hand. For that reason I'd have given it five stars - but the tin that arrived has a use-by date of October 2027. This product has a shelf life of three years. Might work after that, might not - but I can't afford to take that chance on the kind of work I do. At nigh on £14 for 100g it's an expensive tin of flux. With a one year shelf life it should have been a fiver.

I used to use fluxite but recently bought a new flux paste from a well known DIY store. It was expensive and rubbish. Horrible dry joints. Then I bought this tin of fluxite. Just like the good old days, beautiful fully wetted shiny joints. If soldering is important then use fluxite - it is the business.

Magic stuff. A proper tin of cheating. :)

I make a lot of etched kits, in nickel silver, and find this is an excellent flux.......Mind you the workpiece must be thoroughly cleaned in warm water, and I also use CIF cleaner applied with an old tooth brush.......have had no problems with the acidic flux turning the etched kit green....

Usually use Bakers soldering flux but for electrical work Fluxite is the best as it is non corrosive. Only criticism I have is that a smaller tin would be better for just occasional use.
