    Quesiton: How long should I let the flux "cure" before using the heat gun?

    Thanks

    Fixing them is hit and miss with the heatgun. Sometimes they last a long time other times they are very short term fixes. Make sure you use noclean flux and a quick 30minute wait after prepping should do the trick.
