Genuine Kester 60/40. I figure I better grab some before the nannies outlaw it. That new roll will most likely outlast me.

Holy crap, I'm in shit creek then, I've 9 of these bad boys to get through, maybe I should start to list some on eBay, cos you use way more solder than I do, and I've only recently started the first one of 10 that BD and I purchased some time ago when leaded solder was beginning to become unobtainable so we brought 10 each to keep us going >:D :-DD

No comparison really, these are piddly 1/4lb spools so 4 to one of med's. :P

Yeah, but to be fair to med, the label is pure white, so I think on this occasion it might just be the flash and the way it is reacting to it.

The picture was taken with no flash but there was a strong LED light illuminating that area which might explain the "blue" effect.

@tautech True but, he did say that he had the first spool for 40 years, so that means that based on that alone I have over 80 years worth all to myself :-DD

Here is my "lab cat" called Megan, telling me that she is hungry and to stop reading the forum posts and feed her.

Well, not quite. While it is true I've had that same roll for 40 years I was for many years inactive in the hobby so it wasn't used. It wasn't until about 2014 that I fell into the rabbit hole big time. :-DD
