> 24 hourJust OK, not what I was expecting from the favorable reviews it has. It melts at a moderately higher temperature than I would like it to; nowhere near the ease and finish quality of WBT; nor does it cool down as shiny. If you succeeded making it shiny once, you cannot remelt it and make it shiny again if you want to retouch your solders. For all the time wasted trying to make trustworthy solders, I just as well use WBT and be sure that all is well done without the risk of cold solders. All right, WBT seems prohibitively expensive, but if you need to spend two and three times more time, waist twice the solder, and still be unsure of the quality of your solders, then the price of WBT becomes justifiable.

> 24 hourThis is by far the best solder that I have ever used. Dont waste your money on cheap solder. This solder makes a huge difference. Its so. Its far superior to anything that I have ever used.

> 24 hourGood wetting, flows nicely and leaves a very shiny surface. Its RA flux so it should be cleaned afterwards but datasheet does say it can be left on the board. I tried a lot of solder as a hobbyist and this stuff wins best bang for buck easily.

> 24 hourI normally use 60/40 ratio A friend turned me on to this 63/37 leaded and to my surprise It actually was for the the better It made quicker bonds less heat to the flight controllers I was soldering on. It felt all round better so its now my solder of choice hope this helps someone Great product!

> 24 hourGet this if you want shiny solder joints! Only choice to make is what gauge - I prefer 22ga for fine works. Sn63/Pb37 is eutectic meaning it melts/solidifies at a single temp making it easy to solder your component and it stays in place as soon as you take away the soldering iron. Been using this for 20 years. Good stuff!

> 24 hourI love this stuff. I never have any trouble using it unlike others Ive had. The gauge is perfect for everything from small, surface mount, through-hole work to bigger components. In the same sitting I can easily replace small capacitors and IC sockets and larger components requiring a lot more solder.
