I just finished off a roll of Kester which was probably more than 10 years old. It was good to the end.

Does solder eventually "go bad?" I'm sure the metal components don't, but I wonder about the flux. I'm talking about a span of many years. I'm using Multicore MM00979. What I'm using now is fresh, but I'm placing a Newark order for other stuff and thought I might include some more solder if it doesn't spoil.
