Ok sorry for the delay in these pics. I'll try not to confuse you too much.... any way this is most of the stuff I use for my rc hobby. So top down first liquid flux I've ever used it's ok. Kinder of messy but leaves no residue.for some reason I didn't get these in order #2 back side of the Novak solder #3 the flux pen I currently use(makes the least mess)#4 front side of the Novak solder.#5 tip cleaner /thinner #6my weller solder station. I don't think they make this model anymore #7-8 progressive RC solder helper. It's great holds all kinds of things. Makes doing connectors a snap.#9 is the solder pen that goes to the weller station. I have a stand with a steel wool type tip cleaner. Cant for the life of me remember where I have my little 40w solder pen... hope this helps a bit.(mind you this has taken years to accumulate)
Your in Europe aren't you? Lead free solders and No Clean flux. The no clean flux is why you don't have a lot of residue . Plus it makes it easier to solder the Silver solder you're using .You need a higher heat soldering iron for the solder your using ( just an observation) higher silver content. Makes for some ugly solder joints compared to SN63/37 solder (Dull color) They aren't widely used I have a feeling by hobbiest in the States (making assumsions). We use them in Manufacturing here due to selling products in Europe and other places over sea's and more and more everyone want's to lower the lead content .
