Excerpts from Wiring for DCC by Allan Gartner

Liquid flux isn't as convenient as rosin core fluxes. Or so it would seem. H&N Electronics markets Supersafe® flux which works as advertised. I've tried liquid fluxes before, but none impressed me enough to give up using rosin core solder until I came across this product.
Solder joints look great and are more quickly obtained. If you find soldering difficult, try this liquid flux. You are not left with a residue which contributes to cold solder joints. You will find the solder flows completely over your joint. Quicker soldering means less likelihood of melting ties.
I use their gel, which is more like a syrup than a paste, for soldering to HO track. Just dip solid (no core) solder in the gel. The drop can then be applied to the side of the rail. You will find liquid flux makes it effortless to solder to the side of weathered rail. (Weathered rail can be hard to solder even after the weathering is removed with a Dremel.)
Their liquid works great for G nickel-silver and for attaching all feeders to buses.
H&N Electronics Supersafe Flux is great! Amateur and advanced solderers will wonder how you ever soldered without it. |
