Swapped flux types on a motherboard repair and it saved me an hour
I was working on a laptop board with some corroded solder joints near the power jack. Started with the cheap rosin flux I always use, but it kept burning and leaving a mess. Switched to a gel no-clean flux from MG Chemicals, and it flowed way smoother with less cleanup. That one swap cut my rework time from maybe an hour and a half down to 45 minutes. Has anyone else noticed a big difference between flux brands on delicate jobs?

The MG Chemicals gel is a game changer, I had the same problem with cheap rosin burning up on power jack work. Idk why but it feels like the right tool for a job changes everything, like using a sharp knife vs a dull one in the kitchen.
