Out of Solder

[ruffrecords]

Last night I was soldering up a dual 22 way ELMA attenuator, a boring fiddly job at the best of times. I got down to the last two resistors and I ran out of solder. That is the first time I remember doing that. About 10 or 15 years ago I bought a lifetimes supply of tin/lead solder but although I thoroughly searched my workshop I could not find it anywhere. In desperation I rummaged through and old tool box and found a tube of Ersin Muluticore that must be 40 years old. It worked a treat.

Is that the blue tube with the red plastic tip ?

I like the smell of that.

I can identify with the part about knowing for certain that you have something, yet being unable to locate it. Seems to happen to me at least once a week.

That is exactly the one I have. I had not realised until I just now checked that it actually is blue.

I like the smell of that.

Me roo!
