Where to buy flux in a bottle?

Is this of any help?

I have the Kester pens. I can hear the liquid splashing inside when it's shaked. Maybe get the pens and just drain them. On one occasion, I was tempted to clip off a pen, drain it and put the flux in a syringe. D from BC

I must be using the "hybrid" approach.? I buy the flux in a little glass jar, and then pour some of that into a small plastic bottle that has a needle dispensing style tip. Works great.

You need to find an industrial supplier; Newark Electronics, for instance, has seven types of Kester flux available by the gallon. I've even seen gallons of flux at the grocery store (Fry's, in bay area, a decade or more ago).

Mmmm deep fried flux fries :) D from BC

I have bought Multicore RMA flux in a 200mL plastic bottle. IIRC, it was also available in 1 litre jugs, and it was Farnell selling it.

Warton Metals sells gel flux in a syringe, it's very useful.

My Dad (RIP) used to tell stories about his job at the Hormel packing plant (Austin, MN) when he was a kid. One of his jobs was to put rubber bands around the snouts of hog carcasses which were about to be dipped in rosin to have their bristles pulled out, kinda like a whole-pig wax job. ;-)

I once used some liquid flux on my fingers to get some grip while tying waxed lacing cord inside an airplane fuselage (which are all saturated with oily crud).

Rosin is well known for increasing grip.

Yes, thanks. That's why I used it - I just slopped some on my fingers and let it dry. This stuff smelled pretty pleasant - kinda piney-fresh(tm). ;-)

I think it comes from pine sap.

That's why musicians put rosin on their bows, AFAIUI, and athletes might use a rosin bag to increase their grip on a ball or whatever.
