[N8VEM: 19000] Slightly OT: what to use to store and dispense flux remover

All â¹

I stupidly ordered solder flux remover not double-checking if it was an
aerosol spray or bulk. Well, I now have a bulk liquid can of the stuff. How
do I dispense it? I was thinking of a plastic (like Nagalene) wash bottle,
but IÂ¹m open to suggestions.

Thanks!

FYI...

I make my own flux remover, 4 to 5 parts alcohol, one part acetone...
work very well....

I keep it in the aluminum 1 gal "alcohol" can from Home Depot...

Hi!

Take a look at this video from Jeremy Saglimbeni. I do it that way, too:

I found that 50/50% mix is a bit to hot, so I'm now using 4 to 1 ratio,
works very well... and yes, it cheap!
I can get a 1 gal can of alcohol and a quart of acetone at Home Depot for
under $16... last a very long time...

This is good stuff to know. I just bought two LDPE graduated squeeze bottles on Amazon. Mad scientist time!
