I was going to ask if that was still a thing, I remember that from being a teenager, was weird buying new oil that was black

Cleaning up this disaster at the moment, I'm very nearly tempted to just throw everything away and start again ( not my tools obviously) but for the 10 years that we have lived here I have not been able to organise my shed, now and again I have it to the point of being OK but right now I'm...

3/4 inch, I just pushed with the iron but the block broke in half 🤷‍♂️ I wouldnt have a clue tbh, just a roll I have laying around, anyway its Sunday arvo here and I have had way to many beers, typing is difficult so I'll investigate more during the week

had another crack at tinning this iron tip with Sal Ammoniac but still not getting a nice solder coating of the tip, I tried heating the iron more but still no joy, any advice ?

sonofabitch ! :D

I still have trouble throwing this away
