Cant find flux!
 

ok well i live in canada and i have checked 2 of the local radioshacks and they dont carry flux paste or anything of that nature.whenever i search google it just gives me links to buy online, i just need to quickly run to some place buy, then go back. i have no idea what other retailers sell it. where else can i buy it?

Any hardware store in the plumbing dept.

lol ok well i have tried to search in the building box and home depot, i tried looking for "flux", "kester", "solder paste". still cant find it :(

RadioSHACK has it :)

ok is it some secret inventory where i have to go and look for myslf because i cannot seem to locate it on their website, .ca or .com

is their a radio shack in the UK, isn't it under another name?

They shut ALL the RadioSHACK UK stores down... :(

It's in America @ http://www.radioshack.com/

AHH! ok so now i know what the container looks like, thanks for proving my search abilities useless :D this helps a lot. now to find it in canada....:confused:

once again thx :)

No problem - good luck with the install :)

hello, i just noticed something, the product on radioshack says that it is non-corrosive. so would it be fine if i just left it on the board without Q-Tipping it clean?

Always clean the excess flux after install. Why take the chance.

No because it is conductive :o

ok makes sense, weeeee thanks

hmm well turns out i had some plumbing flux in the deep corners of my basement... but i am unsure if it is safe to use or not...

the brand is Kester
it is SP-30
The case is blue instead of black.
Its poisonous and extremly corrosive as it says on the circular case with all those pleasant crossbones and boney hands symbols.


Would it still be OK to use this as long as i clean it with alcohol, if so what percent alcohol should i use? 98%? I read the higher percentage=better.

er... I'm not sure - anyone???
