Does anyone know where to get the Kemtex flux for lead wiping from? I tried Bakers but I feel its to severe. And how do you neutralize it so it does't cause a corrosion problem?

Water (and scrubbing) neutralizes flux, no idea where to get it, I haven't done that sort of thing for over 10yrs, might try a trade panel/paint supplier tho.

I'm not sure but I have a feeling baking soda also helps, I think it also stop bare panels from rusting if you intend to leave them unpainted for period. Anymore Ideas?

I recieve my kit for lead wiping thursday. I have found out the following
1. the lead should contain no more than 18% tin
2. use a flux - lead paste to tin the surface. ie Kemtex
3. the baking soda in water does neutralise the acid when finished apply with a spong.
Supplier is sending a DVD on lead wiping as well. I will take some pics when I start .
