Solder and flux, too.

Does solder actually emit fumes below melting point? I did not know about that.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

depends on the solder, honestly. I doubt it would be an issue with consumer/mass produced electronics, but there's a possibility. But if you're doing your own with rosin-core solder (which is most solders,) the rosin/flux can. (you can remove it with stuff meant to remove it. which you should do because flux is freaking nasty.)

Oh, interesting. I did not know about that. Thanks for the info. I will be looking into some cleaning stuff for my personal soldering projects.
