Subject: Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Softening solder paste

From: Bill Maxwell <wrmaxwell@...>
Date: 2008-02-18

I have had great results using a Flux Pen, type SMF12P, manufactured by
Electrolube, to soften dried out solder paste, Marko. It would be
useful to know just what the solvent used in that product is. A tub of
it would be very handy on the work-bench.
