      Um, yea ... the flux CAN be nasty  :-)

      For those in the USA, try Skycraft Salvage in Orlando Florida.

      Whatever it is, they DO have it on a shelf somewhere  :-)   
      
      SOME you can buy online. MOST is just in infinite bins   
      you have to pick through. I usually spend hundreds every   
      time I get by there. And yes, they DO have thin copper   
      tape, I bought a roll of 10mm awhile back.   
      
      Note recent physical address change to bigger digs from   
      their old Fairbanks Av location. New place is in a strip   
      mall about a mile N.W. from there.
