Re: [VFB] Gary Webb

 I don't know all the reasons for using flux.  I know that most fluxes
clean the surface of the
metal(s) of grease and other contaminates and any oxidation present.
  I have soldered various metals for 30+ years. It has been
 my experience that  the correct flux  for the solder and the metals you
are using can be the difference
 between a nice well-flowed, solid joint and pieces that just fall apart
even though enough heat was applied.

Do you think that for this type of application, a flux is necessary?
There's no real capillary contacts.
