Speaking of lead..... I have one of those little pocket sized plastic tubes filled with small diameter solder for electronics work. Makes handling and dispensing the solder very easy.

When I ran out of solder, instead of buying a new tube I decided to just wind a new coil from my large spool of flux core to replace it.
Here's a tip: Don't try to wind solder on a steel arbor. It doesn't want to come off afterwards, since it doesn't spring back and lead grabs steel pretty darn good. Slaphead

Next time I'll try nylon or acetal. Smiley-signs125
