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... 💀 putting my mask back on... 😷

Thanks! Great input on the glasses! I wear prescription glasses daily, but I'll grab a pair of protective ones tomorrow. 😊
