I don't recall that. I did have one kit a while back where the included
organic solder was a little strange (it didn't want to wet the metal,
and
I had to use a higher temp than normal), and I recall some other people
having similar comments at that time. This might have been about
three years ago. I can always tell the organic solder apart from the
no-clean by smell. The organic stuff has kind of a sweet smell when
you heat it. The no-clean doesn't have much of a smell.

Pretty sure they don't carry it anymore. Mouser has it.
