End of an era. I've had that same roll of 60/40 for perhaps 40 years. But as you can see it's nearly run out. So a replacement arrived today. Genuine Kester 60/40. I figure I better grab some before the nannies outlaw it. That new roll will most likely outlast me.
Vince:
Geez even your spool of solder is BLUE !!! :scared: :-DD
Must be a very old / NOS roll though, seeing as the original Smurf blue has faded quite a bit it looks like ! >:D

That new spool is pure white. The camera lied.
Vince:
Oh wow, that bad ?! Looks like you need not just a new spool of solder, but also a new camera ! >:D
EDIT : looks like maybe you used the flash ? I find it's usually too violent and modifies colours.... the dark gray carpet in my car looks purple when I use the flash...
At the end of the day I think the camera just sees the colour as it is, and it's just our human eye that's easily fooled into thinking it's gray when it's purple in reality... just dark enough purple to look gray, but when the flash throws enough light at it, it eventually reveals the truth...
So I would not be mad at the camera, rather mad at the guy who designed the dye for my carpet and your spool of solder !....
