wipe the connection, no need for flux remover. It doesn't give off really
bad fumes like lower quality solder, but it doesn't mean it's good for you
to inhale the fumes. It is a little hard to find, and more expensive... If
you want an equal quality solder which is just about everywhere, just buy
normal "Multicore" brand solder, they are the company that manufactures
hydro-x. As for tips, you don't really need extra's yet, I can last a long
while with one tip if I keep "re-tinning" them.

haven't read it fully but part of it deals with silicon neurons, neural
net, neural net research, etc. At the end of the chapter you will find
an offer from the author for free copies.

If you check your local toy store, you will most likely find little toys
that do the same thing for less than $4. If you find a clearance, you can
get them for $1. Rip it apart, and viola....
