Flux does the quiet work behind good soldering: it cleans the metal surfaces as you heat them and helps the molten solder flow evenly across the joint. Without it, you tend to get patchy results and connections that fail sooner than they should.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe main job of this flux is to prevent dry joints and oxidisation during soldering. When metal heats up it oxidises quickly, and that thin layer of oxide stops solder bonding properly. Working a little flux onto the joint clears that away and gives the solder something clean to grip. The result is a solid, shiny joint rather than a dull, crumbly one that lets you down later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tin holds 30g and measures 15 x 40mm in diameter, with a total weight of 50g including the container. It sits neatly in a toolbox or on a bench, and a small amount goes a long way, so a single tin lasts through plenty of jobs. It suits electronics work, plumbing repairs and general hobby soldering. Apply a thin coat to the surfaces before you bring the iron in, and keep the lid on between uses to stop the flux drying out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15mm x 40mmØ\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.05KG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSoldering\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is soldering flux used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt cleans metal surfaces and helps solder flow, preventing dry joints and oxidisation so your connections are stronger and more reliable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much flux is in the tin?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach tin holds 30g of soldering flux.
