text: Some fluxes for electronics are designed to be stable and inactive when cool and do not need to be cleaned off, though they still can be if desired, while other fluxes are acidic and must be removed after soldering to prevent corrosion of the circuits.
text: Flux is an acidic mixture that helps remove oxides from the area of the joint and therefore helps the solder flow easily over the joint and form a good bond.
text: Flux is an acid that you use on copper before soldering to remove oxides and prevent the metal from oxidizing further when you heat it.
text: Flux is an acidic paste that is water-soluble, which makes cleaning up simple by using water and a cotton rag.
text: In electronics they tend to use rosin-cored solder and it is nasty stuff that is not suited to stained glass work because the flux is acidic and leaves a horrible mess.
