Excellent
Packaged really well, the bottle and the little silicone stopper are VERY nice. Also, Kester 186 is great for the kind of soldering I do. Well done, guys! 😎

Does what it should.
Only downside is that it's a bit too runny. Otherwise, it works as intended. No leakage in shipping!

Easy to apply, does precisely what it should
Quite happy with this solder flux. For years now I have been using this old tin of solder I found in my father's plumbing box, which I only recently discovered was actually acidic thus corrosive. Kind of a whoops there. Figured it out after a single headphone wire just kept corroding on me in the headphones, where the others were fine.So these are pretty useful. There's plenty of flux in the tube. The neck of the applicator is narrow, and it is very easy to control the flow, as you can bring a little bead to the end of the tube and dab it where you want, or just put a few drops in place. It runs quite freely down wires and onto connections, and I found it to pull the solder down nicely, right off the tip of the iron, no sticking at all. There was a pleasant aroma as it burned off, which was a nice added benefit.Only real complaint is that the little covers for the tip don't inspire much confidence in their ability to keep the flux fluid in the containers, should they be overturned or accidentally compressed during storage. I added a little bit of tape to each, just to be sure. If you keep these in on a shelf or upright in a hard-sided box, it shouldn't be a problem.Great value for your money, would recommend.

Soldering staple
Liquid flux allows for much better soldering. Consider it a staple for your bench.

Easy to use goes where it's supposed to.
The only thing is that this gets very sticky when heated, so I was having a hard time moving components into place when I was SMD soldering, but it's very good at making sure the solder goes where it's supposed to... I'm learning SMD right now. It cleans easily with alcohol. I love the needle tip squeeze bottle: it results in a lot less wasted flux.
