Hi all
Trying to find the correct solder/flux that is not thick when looking at vidio of people changing smd item the solder/flux is very thin like water, I use xgz40 and it very thick so Soldering hdmi ports is a pain as tracks conection
What do other people use ??? Or do they thin down what I use ?

Thinning down flux is not recommended to do so because it can change the chemical composition of the flux and affect its effectiveness. Instead, you may want to consider trying a different brand or type of flux that is thinner and easier to work with.

I prefer the "easily melted"
Tin 63%/Lead 37% or "eutectic"mixture of Sn63%/Pb37% rosin core flux solder wire . paste. As above try different manufacturers flux.
