[Elecraft] solder, where do i find.....

Sat Jan 12 17:11:37 2002

At risking the wrath of many, the "no clean" solder does have a number of
positive points in its favor.  It really melts well, the board looks
fantastic when it is done.  And it really isn't that hard to remove
either.  I have done a K2, K1 and other kits with it and have never had a
problem.

And after my #*^$@ divorce is over I will build another K2 and K1 and use
no clean solder again.  But then again I also scrape the enamel off the
wires on toroids too :) YMMV as always.
