    Looking for opinions on solder. If this solder looks good, what diameter do you guys work with and recommend?

    I also read the following comment in another thread,

    "I like my Kester better. Also use 63/37 instead of 60/40. Melts at a slightly lower temp and gives better joints."

    thoughts on the .32 diameter?

    Another comment from the same thread.

    "Same here. 63/37 is known as "eutectic" solder which is a fancy term for the solder having no "plastic" state. What that means is that 63/37 goes from solid to liquid and back to solid very quickly. 60/40 solder goes from solid to "plastic" to liquid and back to "plastic" and then solid. The "plastic" state is where most cold solder joints come from as the potential for part movement is greater as the solder moves to solid."

    The thread.

    On that note this looks good
