Great video Fenris! Thanks for sharing!

[@mugogrog]

From one fixer/refurbisher to another, very well done!

[@fenriswolfretro6729]

Thank you! Decided to check out your Core Playlist, and you got some serious talent in composition. Keep it up!

[@mugogrog]

@@fenriswolfretro6729 Hey thanks! Means a lot to me :) Same to you good sir.

23:50 Does it matter what type of eraser you use? And for the board, you're spritzing with 91% isopropyl? Thanks for the great video.

[@fenriswolfretro6729]

I use a dual-ended pencil and ink eraser. The pencil side is for light surface corrosion, and the ink side is for heavier surface corrosion. As for isopropyl, anything above 90% will do.

Do you like the chipquik 191 flux? I've bought some but can't stand the smell. I switched to Stirri V3

[@fenriswolfretro6729]

I find it works best for me. I am open to trying new fluxes, but Chipquik has always been reliable for me. I did use MG Chemicals paste flux in the past, but I found that it crystallizes often. Resulting in the needle jamming up and an annoying discharge when you apply a little more pressure to loosen it.

[@rubenmejia4881]

@fenriswolfretro6729 Agreed on the mg chemicals. I have that problem myself, a full tube pretty much unusable. Terrible quality. idk if it was just a bad batch, but I heard of many people complaining about the same issue. I've currently been trying the chipquik fluxes, and to my findings, they perform alright, meaning the activation doesn't last long. I would always have to add more in order to re touch up. So since then, I gave stirri a try, and boy was I amazed it works fantastic. Plus, it smells actually quite nice. lol not that we're supposed to be smelling it, but it's always nice when it doesn't reek like candle wax.
