Hi all
My K2/100 is dispatched and awaiting arrival. I have been advised to use lead solder for building the kit. Looking through my junk box I have found a 500g reel of leaded solder, 0.7mm dia,  it's alloy is 8 - sn63pb37, I presum this is ok for the job in hand!!
Lastly tips, I have a weller and have an assortment of tips ranging from large to very  fine tips all stamps 7, ie 700f, on the base. Will I be ok using those fine tips! or should I get a differant temp tips.

cheers
