I can agree with that but I would never try myself ;-) > The rosin or similar compounds shows up in assorted herbs and liquers; > If there's enough in food to hurt you, you'll taste it... The no clean flux on solder paste is quite "strong" and not natural stuff at all. Not much of "herbs" and "liquers" in it. It is very different from the resin that we see in regular solder wires. It can be quite a good stuff to help someone build cancer or other diseases... Any residual amounts can be quite bad for health if eaten. You should take a look at the papers that come with the solder paste. > It's not a good idea to reuse the oven for food, but I doubt that it's > likely to cause serious problems, either. I think it would be a VERY bad idea to try it... And maybe even a worse idea to say it is not dangerous to a list with 2000 people....
