I'm goth and for the most part my wardrobe reflects that but after several years of parents buying my clothes and changing styles it has now become eclectic. I just want to know how goths shop. What do you look for when you go shopping, where do you shop, and any other advice. I've always wanted a consistent look but never had it and I think it's time to start trying. Please give me some advice-but no emos, or non-goths please. And I'm not a poser. I know it's not about fashion, it's beliefs and that's what makes me gothbut I still like the look. Thanks.
Buy NoKorode paste or use a flux that has solder in it like C-Flux. The C-Flux might be better for you because when you see the solder in the flux starting to appear, that's when you can apply additional solder off your roll. You need to do that anyway.
Usually I would look up MSDS (material safety data sheet) to figure out how to safely use any chemical. Germanium is an insoluble solid at room temperature. It is rarely flammable and stable in water, acids, and alkalies in absence of dissolved oxygen. This is a relatively unreactive metal. The only health risks is that high doses of Germanium may result in liver and bladder injury. Also, inhalation of dust may cause irritation to the respiratory system. Here are some first aid tips from the website below: EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES: INHALATION: Remove to fresh air, keep warm and quiet, give oxygen if breathing is difficult and seek medical attention. INGESTION: Give 1-2 glasses of milk or water and induce vomiting, seek medical attention. Never induce vomiting or give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. SKIN: Remove contaminated clothing, brush material off skin, wash affected area with soap and water. Seek medical attention if symptoms persist. EYE: Flush eyes with lukewarm water, lifting upper and lower eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention if symptoms persist. Pretty much germanium produces little or no health hazards. Remember to not inhale dust particles, wear gloves when using it, and wash hands after-handling. Also, keep the following hazards in mind if applicable. Conditions to Avoid: Heating in the presence of bromine, chlorine, fluorine, oxygen, potassium chloride and potassium nitrite. Incompatibility (Material to Avoid): Aqua regia, concentrated sulfuric acid, fused alkalies, nitrates or carbonates, halogens and oxidants. Hazardous Decomposition Products: Metal oxide fumes.
