Using Nitrile or latex gloves for application and adequate ventilation around your re-flow device should keep you safe.</p>

In fact, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/media/rm2621413376/nm0000385" rel="nofollow">Sam Elliot</a> applies an even coat, with a putty knife like in the video, every morning. That's what keeps it shiny and grey.<br>
Paradoxically, solder paste makes an excellent shaving cream. It even sharpens you razor as you use it!</p>

And yes, using solder paste DOES make you more manly, hence the instant facial hair growth. ...blah blah blah [insert dated Chuck Norris meme] blah blah blah... so use solder paste or your bananas will turn brown.</p>

Will I also grow instant facial hair after applying my solder paste? Because it would suck if I have to shave after every paste application.</p>

News is entertainment. We shouldn't allow the community to turn into an object of entertainment.</p>

Also, did anyone else notice that he grew facial hair in the middle of the video?</p>

And, by the way, I don't think "grammar" should be capitalized, and you forgot a period.</p>
