Quoted from kevinclark:yaksplat I’m using leadfree (I’ve got young kids in the house) and I have trouble getting something that looks shinier. Should I expect it even with that solder?
I’m using a metcal with 700 degree iron.
Lead free solder is your problem. Requires a different technique and since your original board has lead solder your lead free setup is no longer lead free. Get some Kester 60/40 or 63/37 lead solder.
