How To Tell If Solder Is Acid Core. I don't know of any solders that have a built in acid core, i'm not even sure if it's possible because most acid fluxes are pastes. The flux cleans the surfaces, and if they're not too dirty the flux is sufficient to make a good strong solder joint (makes it sticky enough).
