Sacrifice the Sacrificial?

[aknewb1s]

What makes the 2nd run safe whereas the hearts of the "sacrificial" run are unsafe?

Obviously the 2nd run is theoretically started completely clean, but have there been any real scientific studies on this if the sac run looks, smells and tastes good?

i think its a better safe than sorry thing. I actually keep my sacrificial run and run it again later with other runs that didn't make the cut

the main reason is the sac runs remove the remaining flux from soldering. if you read the label on flux you will find that it should never be ingested, not only does it taste bad but it contains stuff you dont want in ya. and i wouldent use it to add to another run, your not that desperate are you?

[aknewb1s]

Not desperate, just curious. By this time, its gone through vinegar runs, vinegar soaks, citric soaks, water distillation, foreshots and heads. One might think the hearts are clean.

Just use it to kill ants or make a fire with it that way you want have to worry about it.

I don't even use the container for anything but that

having a jar of homemade ant killer has been proven very valuable to me here lately..
