I would welcome a recommendation for a flux dispenser and flux that is to be used occasionally for removing and replacing simple surface mount components such as electrolytics, ideally available from a major supplier such a Farnell.

I am not sure whether I should buy liquid flux and apply it with an artists paint brush or to buy a stand-alone flux pen.

Is the flux required for lead free solder different to that for leaded?

Is it worth going for no-clean flux?

Up to now I have used cored solder and occasionally my Dad's tin of Fluxite, but need to catch up with more appropriate materials.

Thanks

Ron
