If you have seen National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation and remember Clark trying to read a magazine after doing battle with the Christmas tree, that's me with SMT parts stuck to my tweezers after using liquid flux on SMT boards. What am I doing wrong?????????????? If you flux after placing the parts then they stick to the flux brush. I guess one of those little flux syringe doo hickies might be better but haven't picked one up yet. If you flux first (which is great to hold the part) then it seems that a little flux always wicks up on to the end of the tweezers. In the TSSOP soldering thread someone mentioned using paste flux. Thoughts? thanks chuckc _______________________________________________ http://www.piclist.com View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
