Re: [TCML] DUMB QUESTION OF THE DAY

[Ed Phillips <evp@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ed,
    If flux is a problem, make your own!  Muriatic acid (hydrochloric 
acid) zinc chloride (broken pennies dropped in the hydrochloric acid) 
and some ammonia.  I haven't been able to find good fluxes anymore, and 
this stuff seems to work good, just don't spill any!  And for kicks, 
when you are creating your zinc chloride, you can collect the hydrogen 
gas and play with it (popping filled balloons, etc.)  Good luck.

	Lack of flux isn't a problem - it's the effectiveness.  I have several different types here including the "killed acid" you mention.  None of it does a thing on the tungsten.
