Hello all,
I just ordered a kit from one of the project pages as a way to start in this hobby.
My question is can i use flux core solder or should i go with the separate flux and solder combo for a kit like the null2 kit.

Re: Solder Question
flux core is fine on its own most of time. you can also use extra flux sometimes if you want or need it, to ensure a better connection, but there isn't really a need for solder that doesn't have the flux core.pandaking666 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 08, 2020 9:31 amHello all,

Re: Solder Question
i think that depends on your solder actually, but typically I use a 60/40 flux-core, and set my iron to 350, and (as far i know) that's pretty standard.pandaking666 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 21, 2020 9:22 pmThanks for the answer what temp are you normally using for these projects?
definitely agree on the flux pen - it's a lot easier and cleaner than using other stuff.
