It really helps to make a clean and secure connection, and for this case it'll help flow to the trace you're applying to.No I haven't. I gotta do more research on that!

Yeah I definitely need to check that out.It really helps to make a clean and secure connection, and for this case it'll help flow to the trace you're applying to.
Looked into flux since I need all the help I can get. Do you think it helps even if I already have rosin core solder? Some other people on the internet had different opinions on it. If you think it does help, what kind of flux would you recommend? Thanks!It really helps to make a clean and secure connection, and for this case it'll help flow to the trace you're applying to.
In my experience having flux paste has aided me greatly when soldering to things that haven't been soldered to before even though the solder has flux in it.Looked into flux since I need all the help I can get.

This. More flux means better heat distribution. Just make sure to have some good rubbing alcohol on hand to clean the residue off the board afterwards.In my experience having flux paste has aided me greatly when soldering to things that haven't been soldered to before even though the solder has flux in it.
Don't get paste. Get Kester 951 liquid.In my experience having flux paste has aided me greatly when soldering to things that haven't been soldered to before even though the solder has flux in it.
What about flux pens?Don't get paste. Get Kester 951 liquid.
Don't go cheap if you do, I got a pen and it was dried out when it came inWhat about flux pens?
Ok, good to know!Don't go cheap if you do, I got a pen and it was dried out when it came in
I dunno if they make Flux pens with the good stuff though
While that may work, like Cheese said. It's not something you really want to go cheap on. It may actually end up wasting your time by having it not work and then you having to wait to order it. Plus It may be good to think of this as an investment. It help you in the long run to get the right tools the first time.Would this flux work? https://www.lowes.com/pd/RectorSeal-1-7-fl-oz-Nokorode-Soldering-Flux/1000092789
It kind of sounds like it should be used for plumbing purposes, but could it work? I looked into the Kester 951 that Noah reccomended, but it would all take at least a week to get here, whereas if I can find some flux at Lowes or another place in town then I can keep moving forward.
No idea. A hardware store like Home Depot/Lowe's may but I usually do all my supplies shopping from Amazon/Ebay.Are there any any other stores that might have electronic flux near me?
Don't go cheap if you do
Anyway, don't use plumbing flux, it's not for electronics. This will work for you. Put a little in the spot you need, add more if need be, just avoid going overboard because then it's more of a hindrance and less of a help.like Noah said
