hehe yeah it DOES smell better

I noticed that too

I strictly use Cardas Quad for my audio circuits.

Another vote for the Cardas, I have used it a couple of times with good results.

FYI, I have about a quarter pound remainder of a 1 pound spool of Cardas Quad Eutectic solder. It's 0.032 dia. and the flux is water soluble (the water soluble flux is slightly conductive so you MUST wash it off).

It's not quite my cup of tea. I have this spool left over from some contract work I did for another company that was using it. It's since been sitting here collecting dust so thought it deserved to finally find a good home.

If anyone here would like it it's yours for $5 (to cover shipping via USPS Priority Mail). US only. First come, first served. Please reply here and if you're the first to respond, PM me a mailing address.

It's rshuck's now.

But if it's ok with him, I could pull you off a few feet of it.

Where do you get your information? My understanding is the rosin flux does not need to be cleaned. In fact Cardas themselves say this on their website.

Nothing wrong with the Cardas, I've used it for quite some time and it's worth the money, but... lately I found a .5 mm (diameter of the wire) alloy made of 60% solder, 38% lead and 2% copper, that costs much less and makes SMD soldering of opamps come out better...

What is your source for this? The Cardas website says:

It's not rosin flux. It's water soluble flux. It was purchased directly from Cardas, and has "H2O" had written on the label.

Huh... mine does not say that on the label. Maybe they've changed their formula or you got a special batch or something.
