> 3 dayIve been soldering off and on since I was 8 years old, and son to an electrical engineer, and now Im one myself. So I feel qualified to review solder. Firstly, when looking to purchase solder for your electronic projects you want to make sure your solder meets the following criteria: - If using lead based you want either 63/37 or 60/40 for a nice even melt - A flux core or multiple flux cores - A quality brand (Kester, Multicore, etc) You want to avoid the Won-Hung-Lo discount brands and bite the bullet and invest into a quality solder product. Your solder joints should be shiny and silver in color. If your solder joints are dull and grey or off silver or pitted.. You are using the wrong solder. I recommend Kester or Multicore solder as they are both consistent performers and both are quality products. I also highly recommend a good temperature controlled soldering iron. It doesnt matter if its analog or digital but dont skimp on your iron either (Hakko or Weller, and not the type you plug directly into the wall). This particular thickness of solder is suitable to thru-hole and large component soldering. However if you intend to solder surface mount you will want a smaller thickness of solder anything .020 or less is more suited to SMD (or solder paste and a heat gun). You wont be disappointed with the quality of the Kester solder products.

> 3 dayI dare say there is no review better than that of Spukhafte. The man knows his solder and based on his review I gave it a go an the stuff turned out loads better than I would have thought. In my opinion it’s the best you can get from solder. It takes away the worry of messing up because it cleans up so nice and so easily, given that you have a decent solder sucker. Even so if my first connection doesn’t come out as pretty as I’d like I can give it another reheat or two without it dulling out. The amount in the roll definitely outdoes the amount you have to pay aswell.

> 3 dayOnly used it a few times. I solder guitar cables. It works better than the stuff I got at Home Depot. Seems to do its job. Not sure it streams into the wires like Ive seen in videos, but it works well enough.

> 3 dayI really love this solder. It leaves a clean shiny finish and so far Ive never had a cold joint. Of course that also has to do with my soldering technique, but Im a noob, so Im giving it points for that (whether it actually deserves it or not) Gets the job done and I highly recommend it.
