Well I don't think there is a huge difference , I buy them in 20 packs on aliexpres.
U also need to watch out if that u get genuine amtech/limbo there are fake ones on the market and they are trash yes I also had the fun with them there just like Vaseline

Hi.
Quick question. I accidentaly made a bridge on the capacitor for the GND point on a V1 Erista Patched that I can't easily fix. Next to that capacitor for the GND point are 2 more capacitors. Are all connected to GND and the bridge doesn't matter?
I uploaded the image of the board and to the right, I made 3 arrows where the 3 capacitors are.
Thanks!!

All GND on the device are grounded together, if you really just bridged two GNDs, they're already connected. Always verify with a multimeter.

Yes, I know all GND on the device is connected. What I'm saying is that I bridged that capacitor for the GND point to the one that is on its right. There are 3 of these capacitors together. I was just saying if all 3 are connected together and my accidental bridge doesn't matter.

Better than Amtech? Amtech is a bit expensive on amazon...
I used some from Stannol and it's ok, then MG Chemicals 8341 and it's quite good but a couple of weeks ago i got my hands on some Amtech and bro, I can tell you that its very very good. A bit tricky to clean if you let it cool on the board but otherwise it's really amazing. The price on the other hand is ridiculous, 30€ for 10ml

Accidently burned off both copper pads on the CMD point for my Switch Lite. Any alternate points I can solder to?
Sure there are but u will have to restore those pads anyways otherwise ur switch will not boot , since they are connection one via to another.

Ur first thing u should be concerned about is restoring those pads and recreate the connection

Yes it's No Clean (but you have to clean it anyway :D )

On Aliexpress, the knockoff Amtech are reported to flow well and get to like 90% of the performance of the real Amtech and they seem to be cheaper than the Kimbo stuff?
$2 vs $5 for 2 syringes, I know it's not a big deal lol, but just pointing it out for others who might be reading.

But then again, Amtech is not no clean, and I wouldn't trust no clean anwyay.

Does anyone know the value of this little guy for CMD on an oled? Accidentally took the end cap off.
