Acid flux, NO NO NO .

We use a Weller WTCPL solder station with large tip.  Prepare with a
little scrapping on the solder flow holes and also on the UG-175/176
if used.  A little Kester Paste Flux, then get it hot enough to flow
decent 60/40.  Works for us.

We avoid a lot of this by using crimp connectors when ever possible.  Much
more reliable and no worry of heat drift of coax.  A lot faster
too.
