I am fairly sure I bought this when I was ~14 at a actual RadioShack. I have several other spools but when you are hobbyist that has too littlie time on your hands, things like this last a long time. Well, that and I forget where the hell I packed things when moving so I buy more stuff.

I was working on a minor project and thought it was funny and that you might agree. Also, ive owned several of those "fire starter" irons they used to sell. Ive upgraded but still use some fairly basic stuff. @stupidbird

Is it just me? I can't find flux anywhere. Can't get solder to act right. Got a chunk of lead from an old retired plumber and it works fine. Kinda dirty but gets it done without burning shit up.

Yeah, i never had much luck, trying to make circuit bent instruments out of random electronics. Solder was too thick I think

You can buy both tinned and syringe flux on Amazon. I'd guess techni-tool has it as well.

Not sure if you have heard about Louis Rossmann but I like the flux they have. https://store.rossmanngroup.com/
