Laco is easy peasy

Power flow is better imo but it gets to work as soon as it hits the copper and make it hard to get 15mm fittings on sometimes.

They're the only ones I've used

Laco is for men, power flux is for diyers, ever flux stings too much in a cut. And then there's this....

 

[Mike Jackson]

Everflux is the best but you need to be careful as it is very corrosive. If you drop any it will eat it's way through the earth's crust and down to the centre of the earth where it will cause a reaction and the entire globe will go up in a puff of vapour. That's why it's important to use dust sheets.

Laco makes your fingers smell worse than the others. Laco also seems to get into your clothes.

Difference between Large Laco and Large Powerflow?

50p plus VAT.

Everflux is best!

La-co locks joints up and the solder isnt as neat imho

I really don't give a flux.

[Hannah]

Which is the best to use for copper?

 

[Dotty]

All of them Hannah. It's very much a personal thing. I like Powerflow because I've always used it.

Mike likes everflux because it creates tectonic chaos.

And Ray likes the ones that make his pockets jingle.......

laco is kinder to your hands, but it still stings when getting into a cut i found that out yesterday

 

[neily01]

Everflux and laco are both active fluxs that clean the joint for soldering, everflux is always active where as laco is only active when heat is applied. We use to just use laco for gas installs because it shouldnt corrode ( just look horrible when not cleaned properly ) but then they realised we had used everflux for years with no problems so why bother!

 

[buckley plumb]

from memory fluxs that are only active when heated should be used on gas pipe work as unable to flush wether laco or powerflux are I have no idea can anyone advise
