Thanks for all the replys on this topic, I will refrain from using this Flux in future ( except maybe if I have to solder a thick ground wire to a plated chassis maybe! )

That is highly corrosive flux intended for plumbing, not electronics. Don't use it on anything electronic, .

I have some old solder Flux here that I use for cleaning up oxidized & dirty connections when I replaced components in vintage HP equipment, this Flux has 27% Zinc Chloride, which really helps to wet the connection for soldering. I am wondering how bad is the Zinc Chloride, and what precautions should I take when using it?, maybe someone here has used a similar Flux before,?
