Cardas Soldering Wire Quad Eutectic Silver Solder with rosin flux 1/4 lbs (113g) roll

Great solder for high quality audio electronics. The solder flowed very well and I didnt seem to have any cold joint issues with it. I actually preferred it to the Kester 60/40 I was using prior to it.

Great product and price.

the best in the west by my test

Pros: Excellent solder found that it melted the best at 350 degrees. I used it mainly for through hole soldering and had very few problems. Flows very smoothly. The silver content is high enough that it conducts very well. This solder reworks extremely well had a couple of fowl ups and had no issue fixing them, Cons: There was a lot of shrink wrap holding the solder together and it took forever to remove. Something that i noticed but was not an issue was the amount of flux that the solder contains internally not terrible just more then i was used to.

This is the best flowing solder I have ever used. Been a tech for 50 years, and this solder flows perfectly in through hole plating on PCBs

Greta and easy to use. High quality product and no cold solder joints. I work on guitars.

I bought this simply because I had ran out of the solder I was using, and based on the recommendation of a video I had watched on youtube which was a tutorial for soldering techniques. They recommended silver solder with a rosin flux, and this just so happend to be the best price to quantity ratio I found on amazon. I had to fix some bad joints on my guitar, a stratocaster, and got the chance to try this solder out. As many have said, it heats at a lower temperature than lower-grade solder, as well as flows much, much better. If I can help it Ill be purchasing this solder again in the future for my guitar related needs.

I use this solder exclusively on the high end studio and audiophile audio cables I assemble in the shop. While I dont know that I believe it improves audio quality, its far easier to work with than normal solder, saves me time in production (especially when its high volume), and creates very strong joints that resist corrosion. My understanding is it will improve corrosion resistance long term, and it seems to. Ive also never had a failed joint with this solder, on any of the thousands of cables I made (and some musicians are very abusive to cables). So while Ill use Multicore solder for my electronics prototyping and Kester for regular jobs, anything really important strength- and signal- wise usually gets Cardas. And its made here in Oregon, which I love.

Im not the sort that subscribes to Cardas audiophile nonsense marketing ploys, but this solder is genuinely fantastic. It wets the first time, every time, and produces clean and solid joints every time. Surface mount, through-hole, point to point, doesnt matter, it does exactly what you tell it to each and every time. I use it for everything, because the sheer consistency and cleanliness it provides is invaluable for any electrical work. The melting point is a bit low for higher temperature applications, but for general consumer electronics it simply does not get better than this. I spent years of my life believing that I was simply bad at soldering, and that it was something I could never get good at -- and then my boyfriend gave me a roll of this. Have never bought anything else since.

Excellent for Hifi cables
