[Boatanchors] Kester Solder

[david knepper]

I am ready to place an order for three pound rolls of Kester 44 solder from 
Mouser Electronics.

What diameter should I order to use with tube type sets.  I know that the 
small diameter is for printer circuit boards or a small tip soldering iron.

I believe that there are at least three or four different diameters listed 
in the catalog.

Also should I pay the extra to get the 63/37 versus the 60/40.  I know that 
this was discussed some time ago.

Can anyone assist me on this one.  I just want a diameter that would be 
general purpose.  I notice that the cost is less for the larger diameter.

What is the best choice.

Thank you
