[Elecraft] Solder shelf life (flux)?

[Robert Carroll]

I just finished off a roll of Kester which was probably more than 10 years
old.  It was good to the end.

Does solder eventually "go bad?"  I'm sure the metal components don't, but I
wonder about the flux.  I'm talking about a span of many years.  I'm using
Multicore MM00979.  What I'm using now is fresh, but I'm placing a Newark
order for other stuff and thought I might include some more solder if it
doesn't spoil.  Thanks.
