What the flux?
I have worked in an instrumentation role for over a decade, now I'm doing diagnostics and repair on HV PSUs. Slowly approaching two decades iron in hand.
Recently found this subreddit and I've come to realise... I have never seen solder without flux inside it. Or I guess, flux without the solder.
Is it a UK/EU thing? Does solder generally not have a flux core? It's it a cost thing? Maybe I've just been doing it wrong my entire career?
I dun geddit.
