Your drug stores sell rosin? Ours sells Doritos, but I don't think
that
counts. :)
Umm, yeah. For some reason that gave me the mental image of trying
to use sun tan lotion as flux. ;)
I sometimes use citric acid (in solid crystalline form) as a flux
and citric acid is being sold in drugstores too :)
Hmm, I'll bet that smells good, too! :-)
