Ive found laco to be really corrosive if not cleaned fully, I use powerflow
but its each to there own,
your best going the merchants and getting there smallest tub of all the different fluxs and find which one you prefer

Dancin, you switched flux and solder?
Please en-lighten me?
Thanks?

Laco for me because it's what I was taught with and just carried on that way.

Nocorrode for me, gave up on laco and powerflow that seem to cause fittings to seize and they both burn my soft skin. Found no corrode last year, luv it, doesnt seem to leave stains etc, and I use leaded on heating n gas unleaded on potable n hw, cant see the point in wasting money on unleaded

I use Powerflow and never had a problem.

Powerflow and only unleaded.

+1 for powerflow. My dad taught me to solder when I was 14. He used powerflow then. I've tried ever flux and can't get on with it.

Horses for courses. Use what you know.

you seen the price of unleaded, makes your bum really pucker, and you save on gas as leaded melts at a lower temp
