Rosin Core or Flux Core?

Other Hardware General Electronics
1

I am new to soldering and I don't know if I should get rosin or flux core solder for mounting simple electronics to a perfboard.

Flux is a chemical cleaning agent used before and during the soldering process. Rosin is a type of flux. Rosin is the kind of flux to use when soldering electronic components. Clean the rosin flux residue with alcohol.

Acetone from HomeDepot works really well in removing soldering residue

And probably the solder mask as well. :grimacing:

Maybe, yes - I haven't tried it. Isopropyl alcohol and a tooth brush works OK.
