OK, I'm one of those who asked if you had enough ;-)  but you've
convinced me.  WHERE did you buy your gallon?  I don't see it at either
Digi-Key or Mouser, so if you have a source suggestion, let's hear it.

Maybe I should put some of this info on the wiki FAQ too to help build
our knowledge pool.

Also source and details on the cheap syringes too.  I've never been
"into" syringes except some years ago when I had a bunch of dogs that I
gave shots to.

The gallon of flux is too much for me so I plan to divvy it out to other
ham builders in the 4SQRP group sometime when I meet with them again.

Thanks,
