Please keep in mind that Elecraft originally recommended no-clean solder and
changed that recommendation only because the silver content made component
removal more difficult.  I bought a new spool on their recommendation and
have used nothing else.  I have had problems with only a small percentage of
holes being difficult to clean of solder after component removal.

What you really want to avoid is the water soluble flux solder.
