Echoing SheanDalton's comments [above in this thread]: * A good way to strip part markings, solder mask, etc. * A fairly aggressive against most polymers. * A flammable material. * VOC issues in its use. * Assembly workers don't like the smell. * A

Here's the story: * Solder will melt and alloy with the solder alloy that you have in the pot. * Flux will smoke, smell and leave schmutz floating on the surface of the solder in the pot. While the amount of smoke, smell and schmutz are variables, b

the reason for not using alcohol in a stencil cleaning fluid is that while alcohol is great for removing liquid fluxes its not good for the solids in the flux it tends to harden them more and make a tacky surface on the stencil. I have seen apertures

Hi, 1. do not use flux-cored wire- the smell is bad and flux will evaporate anyway at the time of solder wire melting. 2. as suggested use solder bars, something like this: https://smtnet.com/company/index.cfm?fuseaction=view_company&company_id=39635

For manual rework we use cleaner Cybersolv 141-R from Kyzen. Very nice effect and normal smell.

To check the airflow for your exhaust, use a manometer. Testo makes pretty good low cost models. Your machine manufacturer should be able to tell you what the requirement is or it's in the manual under setup. If it's a Vitronics Delta wave, I can

Maybe your flux in the paste isn't working or simply isn't there in this new batch ? Heat a blob on the end of a soldering iron and smell it (head space analysis)(old chemist joke!) sarason

We are evaluating a low halide Water soldering flux (Aim WS716). Has anyone had good/bad experience with it? Our operator has mentioned strong and irrating smell, even when standing a foot away from the conveyor entry/exit. The fluxer is embedded w
