GENERAL Soldering related question

[ben25]

A lot of members on this forum seem to like AMTECH flux for soldering to the xbox. I'm looking at picking some up for myself but am a bit puzzled by the different product numbers and prizes.
Are any of these recommended?:
1. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Amtech-NC...109817?hash=item35b57c9e79:g:b3oAAOSwa-dWjtP7
2.http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Amtech-Ad...hash=item3d001ffd95:m:m62Idap4nIeEXNDVxjN683A

The prize difference between the first and second link is massive, they are both 10cc.

I use a HAKKO FX-901 cordless iron
I use Kaina 63/37 0.8mm 2% rosin core flux solder tin

Maybe this is also a good time to ask whether my solder tin is any good

Thank you

Flux is flux, it all works about the same. Some is just harder to clean off the board.

I've used cheap flux and expensive branded flux.
I don't notice any difference if I'm honest.
I admit some flux is dog turd and is hard to clean off.
But the cheap sh*t I use, works just aswell as the expensive stuff and I've been using it for years with no issues at all.

High quality flux is only required when reballing. I did buy a large amount of amtech a while ago so I been using it but any standard flux will work. You have to be careful when buying amtech as there is 100 different knockoffs. I will admit though that amtech is the best I've ever used. Especially for trace repair
