Question for anyone who has used Mechanic brand soldering paste.
(1/1)
wade7575:
I was looking at solder paste's with a friend because I want to try some of the cheaper brands because I'm more of a hobbyist and would rather save a bit of money where I can.

When we looked at the Mechanic brand tuff I found something odd that I could not figure out and neither could my friend,when you look at the picture in the first link that has the 4 bottle's of it and if you look at the bottle in the upper right hand corner it say's it's Model XG-50 and is 20-38 microns and the XG-80 beside it say's it's a 25-45 microns.

If you look in this second link the XG-50 say's it 25-45 and all of the other listing on ebay with the XG-50 stuff listed are also a 25-45,I was wanting to get a finer micron size solder paste to avoid bridging when solder certain part's.

Can anyone tell me if Mechanic brand stopped making the finer stuff or what the deal is because I would have thought that XG-40 50 and 80 would have referred more to the micron size of the solder paste.
