168 forum posts 26 photos | 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? Dave Edited By David Haynes on 17/08/2012 10:05:49 |
