What do you do when YOU run out of solder?

[thewise1]

Pssst, this is a joke thread, I'm not asking how to get to radio shack

I'm nearly out of solder, I can see the plastic on the inside, I think I'm going to freak out here, I have had this spool for the past year, man these things last long.

What do you do when you run out of solder, run around you neighborhood screaming, or hide out a bomb shelter holding your lolcat whispering it's going to be ok, it's going to be ok.

Buy a bigger spool next time

My grandfather has some massive solder reels from the fifties or so

[Mario]

I pick up the little solder specks that fell on my workbench and use those. Or I desolder some from circuit boards, then use that.

[palmertech]

Same as Mario.

Also, I keep a 3" length of it inside most of my modded consoles (GBC, DS, DS Lite, PSP, etc.) That way, if I need to bypass a fuse/re-solder an LED/re-attach powerswitch, I have some right inside.

[Twilight Wolf]

I'd tell my Dad he's out of solder.

Yeah, I usually just use his. His soldering iron, too. Hey, it's cheaper than buying my own!

[Skyone]

I reach into my drawer for another roll.

[vskid]

I bought a 1lb spool a few years ago, I probably won't need to buy another one for the rest of my life.

[doctorjames]

I rage hard.
But seriously, I'll just go buy some more.

[XCVG]

I haven't run out yet, despite my solder-wasting habits.

I reach into my drawer for another roll.

I scream until some materializes in front of me.

I scream until some materializes in front of me.

I thought I was the only person who could do that. There's others?

Do you use it for other things like breakfast and hookers?

Breakfast, 6 times a day.

Are we talking toddler yelling or angry german kid?

What's the difference?
