Hi Estel,
What liquid do you mean? If it's flux then I did use a rosin-based flux and some other stuff, looks like a hand cream or some paste (got it from Clas Ohlson, had everything written in swedish on it so have no idea what kind of flux it is).

Edit: Estel, I've just noticed that you're the one that posted the mugen cover mod tutorial here. You mentioned there that you've used a very thin gas-powered soldering iron. Could you please give the brand & model or drop a link to it on ebay/amazon or other?
