5.0 out of 5 stars Works great
I use this for very small soldering. It works well to apply with the tip of a toothpick. Cleans up nice too.
5.0 out of 5 stars good quality
easy to use
4.0 out of 5 stars No clean flux
It does smoke so be sure you have a reverse fan blowing to keep the smoke from your face when you place the soldering iron in the flux. Especially in close quarters. The no clean flux does a great job for better flowing solder.
5.0 out of 5 stars This paste
Works fine and was a good deal.
5.0 out of 5 stars Definitely Need for Soldering
I’d been soldering for while without flux and super frustrated with the results. With a little of this flux, the solder flows so much better. You get a good size which will last a hobbiest like for years. It’s easy to apply and my soldering has improved substantially.
5.0 out of 5 stars Best Rosin - Worst Container
This is seriously a great rosin, the consistency is like a thick whipped honey... Can get a little messy with stringers but it does stick where you want it, unlike many competitors. The downside is the that can they package it in. It is next to impossible to pry open and when you do finally crack it... The rosin has stuck to the lid and you end up with it all over the place. If they'd just put a little release swivel on the can like is done with shoe polish there would be no problem. Seriously though.... It takes 5 minutes of sweat and cursing to get that lid off. I repackaged mine in a baby food jar. Now I get all the love and none of the hate!
5.0 out of 5 stars Great flux
Started to learn how to solder a year ago and was having a hard time with it, didn't know why the connection wasn't holding. Then my girlfriend asked me if I was using flux? I didn't know it was a thing so I got on Bolo and bought some. Never new how simple soldering was when you put a little flux first. Lasts forever to doesn't look like I've even used much but I dona bunch of projects soldering now and am on the first can still.
3.0 out of 5 stars Half vaseline!
From the MSDS obtained online from the manufacturer, this is 40-60% petrolatum (vaseline) and only 35-45% rosin (originally pine tree sap; often a synthetic blend of chems these days). By comparison, High quality Radio Shack rosin is minimum 65% rosin and works like a dream. "Flux" comes from the Latin for "to flow". A mild acid in melted rosin removes the oxidation layer from the surface of exposed metals (wire strands for my purposes) and coats them so that solder can flow freely between the strands and form a sound joint. Without a flux like rosin, you end up getting a "cold solder" where the surfaces of the joint are coated with blobs of solder but it doesn't penetrate the wire strand bundle to the center. That is a weak solder joint and prone to failure. Vaseline does nothing to deoxidize metal, though it can help molten solder flow more easily, so that's kind of a mediocre way to "extend" the rosin. And it's cheaper to manufacture. Like many things, with rosin flux you get what you pay for. Next time it'll be Radio Shack flux...Next time I'll buy a different brand that's all rosin or at least mostly rosin, but this time I needed it in a hurry and this petrolatum-based rosin flux was the only reasonably priced product that shipped by prime as fast as I needed. I use this to assist soldering with cheap crummy Chinese rosin-core flux solder that barely has any flux in it (decent, more expensive domestic solder contains sufficient good quality rosin flux inside), and tend to slather it on my connections with a flat toothpick, so there ends up being enough rosin in the vicinity to get the job done.Keep in mind that soldering makes a tough physical connection; though tin/lead solder will conduct electricity, it does not do so as well as copper wire. Soldering is for durability, not to conduct electricity.Rosin core solder/flux is only for electronics work, not plumbing (acid flux that would destroy electronics) or making stained glass (expensive silver solder). Different solders and different fluxes for those applications. For a hobbyist electrician, a few ounces of flux will probably last for years; decades for the rare tinkerer. At least you know the vaseline won't evaporate in that time, argh!
Good
Essential product
Works as expexted but but minus 1 star for the container
The Flux is good and it is the best one should expect in this price range but the container is an issue and when you finally get it to open the flux is all over the underside of cap.
Love it
Makes electronics soldering so much easyer and better connections
This is not Flux ! What I received was absolutely useless as a flux !
When I received this product I was eager to try it out ..to my disappointment it did not seem to help with the wetting action of the solder. So I did a test of this flux with a solid core (no flux) solder from Kester. I could not solder when using this flux ! So I tried 2 other paste fluxes and 3 other liquid fluxes from other brands and with all of these other products I had no problem soldering copper wires with the Kester solid core (no flux) solder. So either this was a bad run during production or Thermatronics TMT-FP-1 Rosin flux paste is simply a bogus and a garbage product. So I returned it and certainly cannot recommend this product.
