After the final steps in production process, if water spots or stains occur than follow one of the following options:
1. Last process step - hot water rinse at 80° C to 88° C (180° F - 190° F).
2. Apply forced air to dry the metal after TEKEBRA 6241 rinse.
3. Use rinse aid (wetting agent) supplied by General Chemical with TEKEBRA 6241.

2. Clean area to be repaired to remove all debris, oil and paint. (If the radiator was cleaned in an ultrasonic boilout tank, the area to be repaired must be flushed with water and steel brushed.)
3. Dilute the flux to the recommended concentration if necessary.
4. Brush flux onto the area to be repaired.
5. Heat the area for 3 to 5 seconds with the hot inner flame.
6. Brush flux onto the area again. 7. Heat the area with the soft outer flame while touching the solder to the heated metal surface.
