H hibitec New member Mar 26, 2013 #7 I have the Crack on order and also trying to amass my tools. What type of core flux do you recommend? No-clean, RA, or RMA? I have also chosen to go with 63/37. Is this a good choice?

G Grainger49 New member Mar 26, 2013 #8 I prefer a small diameter solder. That allows putting as much or little solder on at a time as I want. Good electronic solder has flux in it. Whatever type is in the solder you chose will be fine. I have never known what flux was in the solder I used. It is my habit to clean the tip before and after every solder joint. This keeps the tip clean. Good luck!
