Tips for Soldering Flux

Video Transcript

"Hi we're talking about copper foiling today. And specifically right now I'd like to break down for you a couple of the tools and chemicals that we're using. When you get a little bit much of an Excess of your Flux on your panel or an excess of Solder as you're soldering. If you've done any soldering before you know this can get quite messy. And it can get in the way and you really need to remove that or it can just look too bulky. And you don't want that. You want to have a nice uniform solder line on your project. So here's a good example. If you look at this, there is a couple of lines that are pretty well uniform. Like this one for instance. But there's also a couple that before they dried could have a little bit of the extra solder removed from there. Like that little bump right there. And maybe some of the width on that one. So for that you would use this Wick. And this is a Wick Braid. You would place this upon the solder and put your iron on top of that and heat it up. And it would soak that up into the braid. And you'll be able to remove the excess solder. There is a Flux remover which is a chemical that we use to help you remove any excess Flux off of your project after you're completed with it."
