What on earth is the difference between these two grades ?

[ please resist the temptation to answer 30 ]

It looks like I will need to start soldering some SMD … and I have seen an impressive demonstration using the ‘Mechanic’ brand of Flux … but I have found nothing to explain the difference between UV50 and UV80

Education would be much appreciated

Hate to say it, but it looks like it might be as simple as the size of the tin – I’ve found reference to the UV80 being sold in an amount of 80ml here.

Hope this helps – looking at other parts of that site, the naming convention relating to amount seems a bit random.

The details in this ebay listing suggest that you are correct, Rob

Glad to be of service – maybe we should have enlisted the Fluxite Quins to help 🙂
