What happens as solder paste is used when it becomes un-usable? Does it dry out due to flux evaporation or does it absorb to much moisture from the air which changes its composition too much? Now for the big question. I had an operator add flux to t

Let me clarify we throw out used paste after a week not the whole jar. Jars get used up every other day or so. We don't really have a procedure for used paste on the do's and don'ts so I'm in the process of creating one to avoid people adding flux t

Hey!!! Watch it!!! I don�t want to get you believing too much of this stuff. But if you bought that, listen to this � some circuits are so critical with that skin effect stuff that they use silver as the top level solderability preservative. Turn
