What liquid solder to buy?


KY1K
 

Hi All,

I have been using liquid solder (paste) with great success. 5 years ago, I started out with a sample sent to me for free by a vendor. It was sent without an applicator, so using it on really small smt was impossible, couldn't apply small amounts of solder without the special (and pricey) micro-applicator.

The stuff was great, I used it with a conventional Weller soldering station and with the pyropen hot air 'iron'. It was supposed to have a 3 month shelf life, but I stored it in the refrigerator and it has lasted 5 years although it has degraded to the point where I wouldn't trust it on smt.

So, I need to buy more liquid solder and want a more modest quantity, and something that comes with an inexpensive applicator so it will dispense small amounts needed for smt pads.

Any suggestion as to which product to buy and where to buy it??? Please, no Radio Shack recommends, been there, done that...I've got questions, they have blank stares:>: Reputable vendors only please.

Thanks,

Art
