The bad joint was full of rosin that tossed the       solder about 18 inches and onto my bare thigh. It was summertime, and I       didn't expect it. It was too hot for pants, so I received a nasty burn       that took months to heal. It looked like someone had put out a cigar on       my skin. The burn was bigger than a US nickle.              I've had cheap rosin cored solder do similar, but not near as much       molten solder. I switched to Ersin Multicore in 1970 and never looked back.                     --       Never piss off an Engineer!              They don't get mad.              They don't get even.              They go for over unity! ;-)              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
