I don't know what it is exactly about the RS solder, whether it is an up front quality of materials/processing issue, or it is a shelf life issue. Yes, solder has a shlef life, the flux goes bad, and the solder oxidizes (no longer bright and shiny.I have yet to find a spool of RS solder that was bright and shiny, so maybe it is the shelf life issue after all.
All I know is that not only have I had problems with all their types of solder, but many other people have too.
