Leon,
I'm not sure that we're talking about the same company.
I got this (what I thought was) electronics solder paste from
www.rsaustralia.com.au. I thought they (RS components) were different
from Radio Shack. I understood that radio shack in the US was tandy
here is aus.
RS Components certainly advertised this as SMD solder paste.
Could someone please clarify
Thanks
Trev
