I have been soldering for many years building many types of kits and making wire harness's and now I'm starting to do kits that have SMD stuff in them and I was wondering what are some of the better and easier to find liquid flux's out there.
For wires I just Oatey #5 because I can get close by and it's cheap plus it works really well,but as far as liquid flux goes I have never touched the stuff,what are you guys using and what seems to work the best.
I seen this one and thought I would try it just to see if it's any good,they also have their own website called takeorder-esf I know they claim it's a Kester flux and who knows maybe it is or it could just be a knock off.

I will say one thing however I got this Solder from I got some MG Chemicals 60/40 Solder and I don't like as good as this stuff in the link,the MG Solder is stiff and seems to flow more like a lead free solder then a solder with lead and it takes a tiny bit long to melt,the stuff from ebay is a bit softer but not to soft and melt's and flows very nicely.
