Review on Kester 24 6337 0027 Solder Alloy Diameter by Josh Cooper

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Holy Flux: Solder and Flux

In my opinion, the strength of this solder is also its weakness. I soldered daily for a long time and used different types of solder (lead-free at work). I usually use lead solder at home. That was my first kester roll. I have to say it soldered well, if not better than other quality lead solders I've used. The fact is that cleaning the flux is a nightmare. It turns into a stubborn sticky mess and takes 3-4 cleaning and blowing sessions to clean up before it's all erased. In fact, I'd say it's unusually difficult to sort out. Now you can say it's not clean, leave it alone. To each their own, but in my opinion only half :). The job is done when it looks clean and tidy.

Pros
  • All right!
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
