Steve, I used their bar solder years ago at a small shop in Silicon Valley that was very cost (and quality) conscious, and never had a problem with the raw material or the finished results. Dross generation was also reduced quite a bit with the electrolytic bar. Customer service was very good, with a full range of analytical services available for bath monitoring.

We've been approached recently by a company named Metallic Resources ( http://www.metallicresources.com ) that makes a solder they call "Four 9's" ( 99.99% pure), and they do it by using a proprietary electrolytic process. They make a lot of claims about their solder. I was wondering if anybody uses their solder, and if everything they say about their solder is true.
