I recently came to the realization that I’ve been kinda punishing myself with cheap no-name solder that is really difficult to work with.
I reluctantly bought this (rather expensive) lead free solder for around $25 and the difference really took me by surprise - it melts and flows so easily!
Kinda got me wondering what everyone else has been using for solder, or what’s worked well for you so far at least?
Avoid brain damage by using a soldering fume extraction fan
fume extraction does not help against smearing microscopic lead particles over your hands and then over your food or face. ;)
Wash your hands after using leaded solder!
