[Elecraft] Soldering dangers

[Matt Palmer]

I use the kester pocket packs for soldering, (not kester solder
however) when it goes empty i simply rewind my spool on an
appropriately sized marker, and then refill the pack, I frequently
hold the plastic pack in my teeth whilst holding a component and a
iron.
