Review on Buy Kester Pocket Pack Solder 60/40 0.031 0.50 oz. Tube - 3 Pack by Daniel Ogbebor

Getting used to it

I recently ran out of the last 1980's RadioShack 60/40 .32 that I've used for years. And I've heard good things about Kester solder so I bought it to try. I did a lot of point work when soldering, so I expected it to be like old Shack solder. I found it flowed too well. There were problems tinning the newly striped wire. I tried adjusting the temperature of the iron but no change. I'll try swapping out the iron tip to see if that helps, but I'm open to other suggestions.

Pros
  • Solder and Flux
Cons
  • Out of fashion
