[Elecraft] Solder shelf life (flux)?

[AJSOENKE at aol.com]

Interesting question. Where I worked for many years we had very specific  
shelf life manuals on things organic like epoxies and paints and plastics. I'm  
not sure if I recall any shelf life on resin core solder. I have had rolls of  
the stuff that were 25 years old before they were used up, and I never had a  
problem.  I'd avoid high humidity because of the tin/lead oxidizing, but  the 
flux inside is pretty well sealed up.
