Kester 24 6337 0027 Solder Alloy Diameter Review

Solder is great but the product has a piece of fiber reinforced shipping tape wrapped around it to hold the box in place during shipping and the tape cannot be removed without damaging the product label which is all Key data includes B. Kester trademark, SN63 PB37 tin/lead ratio, 3.3% rosin core and date of manufacture. I work with several spools of different types of solder and prefer the labels on all of them to be intact so I can tell them apart and reorder the same type of solder when it…

I'm not an expert, I just read reviews and watched tutorial videos before deciding on this brand, type and diameter of solder wire. Kester seems to be pretty much the industry standard, or alongside a few others, and my experience to date has lived up to those expectations. Through trial and error I found that my soldering iron heats up more than it should. I reduced it a bit and now everything works much better: good solders, the iron tip stays tinned and doesn't oxidize as quickly and hardly…

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…

Well, I collected electronics, repaired guitars, dabbled in synthesizers for two decades before switching to this material from various other universal solders (everything that was handy in the store). All I can say is that using this and a temperature controlled iron from the start would have saved me time and work. It's day or night, life-changing, hours saved, and more fun in the end (as it turns out, my soldering tech isn't as bad as I used to think it was. Switch to good tools and I've got

Kester seems to be pretty much the industry standard or there are few others and my experience to date has lived up to those expectations.

So I spent two decades building electronics, repairing guitars, making synths before switching to this material from various other general purpose solders (whatever was in the shop). All I can say is that using this and a temperature controlled iron from the start would have saved me time and work. It's day or night, life changing, hours saved and more fun in the end (as it turns out, my soldering tech isn't as bad as I used to think it was. Switch to good tools and I've got a strong, beautiful
