I once chatted with Jim Hinds of Richmond Controls and he says he uses acid core and that's on wiring! Keeping everything clean before, during and after is the trick. I guess it's sort of like surgery--keep the infections away! I have noticed in a couple of areas under the layout of the resin flux having it's own corrosion issues. I do use some flux cleaner when doing that delicate decoder wiring.

Hi,

I use Kesters' Soldering Resin Paste(Flux) and 60/40 solder resin core. I don't bother with all the fancy ones even though I have tried them. This has always worked and still does.

One of my friends always uses acid flux because it washes off so easily. Each to his own.

Lately the lead free seems to work.

cheers,

Andy Malette
