Is that correct? 18 Month's for one roll of solder? I never thought about it
and I am not sure how long it takes me to go through a roll. I use off rolls
everywhere, one in my toolbox, one in the truck, and one on each bench. I
know my wife bought about 20 rolls of the stuff sitting up there on the
shelf. I think the parts salesperson talks us into a roll every time we
order parts. That will probably last me 30 years. Hey, I finally was
good-newsed, I won't have to by solder again. I can retire on what I have. I
wish the wick would last that long. I must go through those 50' foot white
round ones in 2 weeks.

Look at it from a time basis.....I use a roll in about 18 months (312 days a
year working = 468 working days).
$10.00 divided by 468 = 2 cents a day.
Per job, that's about 1/3 of a cent per job......and you can't collect 1/3
of a penney..
That's why he doesn't charge....it'd be illegal for him to Gouge the
customer, wouldn't it???
