Properly Removing Flux After Soldering

Removing flux is done after a stained glass piece has been soldered. If the flux is not totally removed, corrosion and oxidation may occur.

A flux remover will neutralize and remove flux. They tend to be safe and gentle on skin. After removing flux, some will need to be rinsed off, others do not. Be sure to read the directions on the flux remover you use.
