the cheap stuff fades very quickly and the good stuff has a shiney colour... also when soldering try and keep the solder all as one thing, as mixing WILL give you problems


also a piece of sponge with water on it to clean it after a few min also does the job but then make sure you do nto drown it that it becomes ice cold and then does nto work.
