There are many choices when choosing a solder for repair and original
PCB work. I am looking to understand any issues or compromises with
lead-free, no-clean or water-soluble flux solders. Recommendations of
brands/ types would be highly appreciated.


Used leaded.

Agreed, but if you're building here in Britain, get your supplies NOW,
before the nanny state takes them away from you. Leaded solder is about
to become a thing of the past. Bastids.

Cheers,
Pete.


ah, maybe my future is in smuggling leaded solder into the UK and
selling it for $100/lb.

have you guys gone unleaded for military applications?
