Overheard a guy at the parts counter yesterday
Some old timer was telling the clerk he never uses flux on board repairs because 'it's a waste of time.' Then he showed a pic of his last joint job with cold solder all over. Changed my mind about skipping flux on those tiny SMD caps. Anyone else seen bad work from skipping the basics?

You really watched that guy show off cold joints like they were a badge of honor? What was his reasoning for skipping flux on the tiny stuff?

@felixb25 preheating the iron and using fresh flux paste fixed those issues for me.
