I tried Kester "245" No-clean solder but sometimes end up with the
conductive white residue problem from the moisture that is present in
our environment. I'll often poly-coat this to block the moisture and
it seems to work OK but I don't think this is suggested. Other times
we pot this in epoxy but I worry about moisure migration down the
wires, I dont want failures 2 years from now.
I tried Kester "331" Water-soluble solder but trying to solder a small
44pin microprocessor with it is tough. It doesn't seem to wet and
flow as well, the soldering tip dries out too fast. Plus the fumes
will gag you.
I have not tried regular Rosin core only because I don't know how to
reliably clean it.
What do you use?
