The water soluble flux works great in most cases. I found with my clock (nixieneon) the impedances were high enough in the circuit that the flux cause the circuit to misbehave. It was so bad that testing it as you built it (a requirement) that it tripled the time to build the clock since every time you soldered on the board you had to wash it then dry it.
Overall though I do like the idea and I can see it for regular stuff :) -joe On Tue, Jan 17, 2012 at 12:56 AM, Sean Voisen <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks for all the tips.
