Some Heath comments

[Paul K. Dean]

What a great story!  Liquid solder.....ugh!  It was intended for plumbing.
When I was in grade school, a long time ago, my science teacher made me use
it on a small electronics project as they did not want the liability of
kids using hot soldering irons in class.  The stuff I used was not even
conductive!!  Needless to say, the project did not work.  Took it home,
undid it and re-soldered with the real stuff and it worked fine!

How fortunate the original owner of your kit was that it worked.  Obviously
followed rule #1, have a good mechanical connection prior to soldering.
