Wowza! So you ended up just bussing all the points that used to touch the ground plane together with wires?

I had a bottle of that stuff too, worked great but it was so awful to clean up I ended up tossing it... atomically thin coat of rosin is spot on what I always ended up with. Evil brown devil juice.

Favorite flux? (lemmy.world)
 

I recently picked up a syringe of Chipquik SMD291 tack flux to play around with, I'm just getting into doing smd stuff... and I find myself using it for just about everything because it's so easy to use, works a treat, and is fairly easy to clean up. What flux do you like to use? Do you have different ones for different uses, or do you tend to just use one for everything?
