Where have you been getting gel-type solder flux from? I've never seen
it in any of the UK distributor catalogues (Farnell, Rapid, etc.)
I've been using the Circuitworks (ITW-Chemtronics) and Electrolube flux
pens and the Electrolube SMFL flux spray -- they worked OK, but the gel
flux I "liberated" from a Chipquik kit worked even better...
