This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

At my workplace we still got some soldering fat that was still made in west Germany.

What in the nine blue hells is "soldering fat"??? Flux? Tip cleaner?

[–] cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 1 points 13 hours ago

The use of soldering fat is, that the tin flows better when soldering.

For plumbing, surely?

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 2 points 15 hours ago

So since I'm being voted down, it's not for plumbing? Stained glass? Roofing? Making buckets?

For soldering, it's soldering flux Literally translating the german word for it would be soldering fat.

(Am I not getting a joke here?😅)
