Quitter.  It's a full 11 degrees here, now.

Yep.  Not that EXACT model, mind, but one from Digikey...Worked just fine.
My complaint was that it was loud and had to be VERY close to the work
surface to catch the fumes.

What you REALLY want is a small hose that leads to the sucker a ways away.
A small nozzle, which has a very strong local "inhalation".  You could easily
modify this contraption to serve that need, or just buy a muffin fan, some 1/2"
aquarium hose, and a filter of some sort (maybe aquarium charcoal?).  As I
said, this thing will need to be VERY close to your workspace (I found that
it needed to be so close, and was so big, that it actually made it tough to
work) and will be quite loud.

As far as "cleaning up" of the fumes goes, it does work, very well.  It just
is very awkward.
