We've started off with Kester 951 'no-clean' so far which is alcohol based I believe. It seems to do very well with foaming, activation and low residue, but if we can move to water based and get good results that would be great. The 951 flux and thin

Superior 420-XF-LF is what we use. When we switched, it took some time of just running it through the stone before we got the optimal performance. Especially when going into the clean and dry tank on monday morning, we usually let the fluxer run for

Thanks for the tip! Do you find the boards require any cleanup after exiting the wave with the Superior 420-XF-LF?

We do run them through an Aqueous washer, but I don't see excessive deposits or anything before washing. And our wash is just heated DI water.

Thank you very much for sharing this information. It is difficult to gain knowledge in this area independently. I'll contact Kester for information on adjusting the flux density and which "thinner" to use since I am using their flux. I really like

Hi everyone, We just got our first wave soldering machine operational (novastar 8s) and its working great. I'm just a little unsure about how to best maintain the foam fluxer daily. Do you drain it from the machine each day or just cover the flux t

Thinner: Flux thinner, NOT paint thinner We kept a spare stone in thinner in inventory. We cut PVC pipe to size, cap in one end, screw thread on the other, stone inside, filled with flux thinner and covered with a screw cap. I don't remember who we

Can I use one common cleaning agent to clean the stencils from a lines which are using RMA, No-clean and clean paste ( b'cos we onlyhv one stencil cleaner ). What about those misprinted board ? Can all of them use the same chemical or cleaned in the

Hi Danial, Yes, you can use one cleaning chemistry for all paste types. There are many available chemistries from many manufacturers. The chemistries that I would recommend include: StencilWash Plus from Aqueous Technologies http://www.aqueouste
