I have never seen this many warning signs on anything that I have ever bought. I know that I'm supposed to suck away the soldering fumes, even if I use lead free solder, which I'm going to do with a 12 volt computer fan fitted with a carbon filter. But what the heck is in the flux that will damage my nervous system... ๐Ÿ’€ putting my mask back on... ๐Ÿ˜ท

I think they are trying to tell you not to eat it. I ate a few leaded solder balls before and I'm still here though, so there's that.

Don't eat or touch or inhale. Treat has hazardous waste.

Basically wear gloves and mask. Dispose of in the special bin at you local garbage dump.

Not much of anything. It's more about the texture, perfectly smooth except for the part where it touched the surface it was on when it solidified where it's like a little back scratcher but for your tongue.

You did not eat leaded solder balls. Did you? Wait. Is that the secret to immortality?
