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.

It's flux

For plumbing, surely?

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.
