The last of my Radio Shack QQ-S-571 solder is about gone and I am wondering about replacement. I only just noticed that the two most recent rolls of RS solder is 60/40 rather than 63/37. I bought a little 63/37 on ebay, 25 inches for about $6, before I realized I was already using 60/40. Which should we use?
I also found that desoldering WW2 vintage solder joints on the BC-348 using a 30 watt iron was not a good idea. I bought a higher powqered iron, although I have a RS variable digital temp iron, I needed two for opposite sides of the workbench.
