Bill that solder paste has corrosive flux in it . Be sure to do something to neutralize the acid in the flux.

What media did you use, walnut hulls?

Thank you. I use a 50/50 mix of glass bead and 120 grit aluminum oxide.

Thanks Mark. I got what I used in an unmarked baggie, and a word of “here, try this”. What would suggest as a way to neutralize?

Water, dish soap and baking soda. If there are weep holes dunk the barrels in and out flushing the it in and our of the rib void.

I use solder past for tinning , then I clean the tinned parts with water , baking soda and dish soap. Final assembly I use rosin flux.

BTW, I used a rosin core solder.

As far as neutralizing goes, shouldn't be a problem. There is a weep hole, and I'm going to have to flush them out when I start with the ferric chloride anyway, and then dry out the ribs with a heat gun, etc.

late to the party but I thought this picture may be of help. Kester Rosin flux, sal amoniac for cleaning the iron(do not breath the fume), 150 watt hexacon solder iron, 50/50 solder, clamps made from the Nittler book. All this and it is still a dirty smelly job but one that I occasionally have to do. Plumbers torch not pictured.

You should see a set all wired and nailed up! With flux slathered everywhere, fire and smoke the smell.

I do my best to keep the flux out of the coffee....a little rosin never hurt anyone.
