Hi,

I have two gaps close to one another, one must be soldered and on must not, they are all part of the same part. If flux is used on the joint to be soldered, is there something to prevent solder taking, aside from oxide and lack of flux?

Tippex.

But I've not tried it myself. I think the idea is to contaminate the area so the solder won't take to it and a chalk based covering will resist the heat.

Tipex correction fluid works well, here it is being used to stop the parts sticking to the jig
