Heat parts, melting flux, and apply solder until the solder flows readily. Apply a small amount of flux to surfaces to be soldered. Remove dirt, paint, rust or insulation by scraping with a wire brush, filing or sanding. Instructions: Clean surfaces to be soldered. Can be removed by wiping with a cloth or with cleaning solvent. This electronic-quality rosin soldering flux is mixed with petroleum jelly paste and ideal for electrical and electronic soldering applications. (Though the manufacturer doesn't specifically call it a no-clean flux, as they do some other products). The manufacturer describes it as a mildly-activated rosin flux (Type RMA) that is considerably more active than water-white rosin, with low residue corrosivity (ROL0) and recommended for all applications where post-soldering cleaning is not feasible, and RadioShack doesn't stock this flux anymore, but amazingly it is still available under the original manufacturer's part number, RSF-R80-2. You do also want to make sure the soldering iron gets hot enough: I'd suggest no less than 30 W for lead-free soldering. I've seen no residue left after soldering. I use a fine-tip paint brush to paint the flux exactly where I want the solder to go, and that's where it goes as soon as the parts get hot enough and I apply solder. Lead-free soldering is a bit temperamental without a good flux, but it's a breeze with this flux. I use it with 96/4 tin/silver solid-core solder and my RadioShack 15W/30W soldering iron #6402055. I've been using this RadioShack 64-022 rosin soldering flux that I bought probably eight years ago, and it's still going strong.
