    For home use -- 63/37 solder with "no clean flux" is the best way to go.
    *ALL* Kester solder has gone up in price over past couple years. Often found in the $22 to $30 range.
    Made the mistake of buying some Mexican brand solder a few years back. It worked well but was the stinkiest stuff I ever used.... glad when it finally ran out. I only buy Kester now.

    The Stangbat link to Todd's website is for SN63WRMAP3.031 solder. Often used for mil spec stuff and has rosin core solder. We used to use this solder by the case -- good stuff but you really should clean with alcohol when done.
