Kurt mentioned using anti-flux on soldering heads.

Hi Poly Members,

I have had several of these things over the years and have yet to find one that I like the way it works. Either they run all over the place, or they are so thick that they won't cover where I want, or they discolour the metal. Anyway, does someone have an anti-flux that they are just in love with?
