Checked out the local hardware shop, only 'Bakers' flux on sale, suppose it's what the farmers will need to fix their tractors and combines, so no Joy there.
I'm using a SN63, tin lead solder, 0.56 diameter, and this is on the label 'Type 381 flux'. 250 gram. So I'm wondering if there is a flux in the solder, I haven't tried to solder without flux ??

Re: Cleaning Flux.
A quick check suggests that that product does indeed include flux, so maybe that is the problem.

Next time I do a bit of soldering I'll try it without the flux and see how I get on, let you know.
