Hi guys,
I finally got around to clipping off the heavily corroded copper plated microclips from my clip whip, with intent to put on some nice stainless ones I got a few months ago.
I forgot to do my research though, and my regular electronics solder/flux doesn't stick to the clips.
Did some googling and found I need more of an acid flux, with some cautions around getting the right kind so residual acid doesn't eat the wire.
What's a good solder to get for this application?
I'll Amazon Prime this thing. How about this:
BernzOmatic SAC300 3 oz. Lead Free, Acid Flux Core Solder
Or do you recommend I buy a paste/flux separately then use my regular solder?
I don't solder much these days... I'm looking for the easy, cheap solution.
Thanks
Marc
