Subject: RE: [Homebrew_PCBs] Soldering to my new PCBs

Thanks guys.

 

Yeah, I’m limited here because the original boards were not tinned, so I’m trying to keep to stock appearance.  Maybe this flux aerosol will seal it.  It’s not that I can’t make it work.. it’s just.. difficult and tedious, and too much solder comes off in the process.

Flux.

Give your board a good coating of flux. The aerosols of "re-work" flux
usually work well.
