Liquid fluxes similar to Harris Stay Clean

[Skál]

With Harris Stay Clean Liquid Flux sometimes being hard to get hold of or extremely expensive outside of the U.S.A. I have, at various times looked for equivalent performing fluxes. Thought it might be helpful to some throw in a table of listed contents for similar liquid fluxes as per their data sheets.

Thanks for the info and Still_stirrn for the table .

I’m still using a bottle of Duzzall , I bought in New Zealand over 40 years ago . It works perfectly on stainless and Copper .
My Grandfarther was a plumber . Always made his own by collecting all the off cuts from galvanised iron and dropping them into Hydrochloric acid until all the zinc had reacted ( turned into zinc Chloride ) and stopped fizzing .

Yes I did it too and it works...if you add a source of ammonium chloride. Phosphoric acid also works well.
