      60/40 flux core

      Leaded obviously,
      getting a bit harder to source now over the lead free rubbish

        RS still carry 60/40 tin lead solder and you can order over the net. Not the cheapest but at least they stock it.

          Tbh i havent noticed a huge difference between leaded and lead free solder. A Good flux seems to make all the difference.

              A good flux makes for a much easier job especially on the bigger connectors, it just makes the heat and solder flow across the joint much better
