I have a Sal Almaniac bar and use it for both electronics and stained glass, but it's far better. This is not a Sal Almanac. Instead, it looks like it could be a cross between Lot and Almanac. Regardless of its contents, it works instantly and gives you a nicely tinned tip as soon as you pull out the soldering tip. ammonia which I buy for $5) and not 20 grams of this product which I bought for $7. How well it works I would buy it again.
