I propose that the name of this reflector be changed to "Solder/soldering
reflector." Since there seems to be more on these topics than anything else
it would seem a good idea. Having spent a lot of the last (more than 50)
years soldering and desoldering with many types and brands of solder and
soldering/desoldering equipment I believe the topic long ago reached
"overkill" in the present reflector! Eutectic is a concept that is also
used in Geology and perhaps elsewhere. There is nothing magical here it is
simply the mix that gives the lowest melting point and the lowest freezing
point (this latter is often missed). Good technique, good equipment and
quality solder coupled with slow careful work and examination of completed
solder joints should be enough without this constant "over"discussion of
solder and soldering/desoldering.
