Whoa hold the complain train. This stuff is water based, so a little sip out of your Poland springs water bottle and a little soupy stirry action and your are back in the game. I can't count how many times I left the lids off my flux because I was too busy grabbing freshly soldered items with bare hands. |

Mine says the same thing, but cutting that crappy brush off the lid was my idea |
