Here is just how to make a simple solder dispenser for next to nothing. 
This is my first instructable. 

Now sometimes a large spool of solder is a bit big for most tasks. And if you don't have a solder dispenser this instructable is for you. It's simple and almost free.

Tools: Wire cutters

Materials: A cheap pen
                   2ft of solder

Take Apart the Pen

Now wrap the solder around the ink. Don't wrap it too tightly otherwise it will be hard to pull off.
