Chipquick in the UK?
Hi,
does anyone know where you can get Chipquick stuff in the UK? http://www.chipquikinc.com/ I noticed CPC listed on the US website but UK CPC doesn't seem to have it. Any alternatives? What is this stuff anyway? Cheers, Gareth. |

Mix that with solder and you get a very useful reduction in desolder temperature, no fancy physics involved. Gareth. |

I remember the chemistry lab demo of this stuff. A teaspoon was moulded from it and when it was used to stir some hot water in a beaker it melted. d |
