> Have you any ideas which solvent can be used on > solder paste? Mix 7 parts glycerine to 3 parts isopropyl alcohol Sometimes, depending on the paste the alcohol content must be even lower than 3 parts. Thin the paste ONLY as thin as you need it and no more. Also, this mixture works wonders as a flux to keep solder from bridging between pins on smd and through hole componets. Although, the correct tip is everything when doing smd. You can also put some of this on solder braid and solder will literally jump of whatever that it's stuck to.
