I would also add to this that I've encountered some Kester No clean
and Water Soluable that had ∗∗NO FLUX∗∗ in parts of it. I had a hell
of a time until I figured out what was going on. It ∗really∗ sucked.
The solder would only adhere to the tip of the iron. The one good
thing that came out of it was that I ditched my Rat Shack iron and got
a Weller WES51 because I thought the iron was the problem. :-)
