DO NOT USE LEAD-FREE SOLDER!  It's not even good for
fishing sinkers!   Good old Kester, thinner .020
is the best.  Try to find "# SN63PB37 #58/285,
24-6337-9700, J-STD" lead solder, if you can! Most
of the recommended Elecraft solder suppliers carry
it.  You end up with nice joints, and not too much
resin rosin.  :)  A good Soldering Station, from
Circuit Specialist Inc., helps too.

Good Luck
