SOLDERING PASTE.
Those who use one of the excellent soldering pastes now on the market when making their connexions should be careful to see that the composition is not too freely used. If too much flux is put on the joint the heat of the soldering iron will scatter the paste over everything in the vicinity of the joint. Unless this film of paste is removed leakage is bound to occur through it, which will generally result in the loss of signal strength. The best plan is to clean up the back of the panel with methylated spirit, with the aid of a small brush, after the solder ing process is complete. It will be found that the spirit dissolves the flux, leaving the panel quite clean.
