This is one I struggle with, around the same time, I was using CTC for cleaning and getting grease out of my hairy battle dress. I was soldering with pliers in my left hand, the iron in my right and the lead based solder in my mouth. A few years earlier, I had been covered in bleach burns due to HTP leaks. 3 score and 10 this year, I don't know how I made it.
