If they become a pain (or lots of little pains?) mix some borax and

So Rusty, where do you buy borax? I tried to get some once. Boots
sent me to the Handyman's shop, they told me to go to the supermarket
and they said "try Boots"!


Find an independent chemist. Or a good hardware shop. It's also used as
brazing flux.
