Pb free solder is often brittle and cracks easily under thermal
cycling, stress or vibrations.

Standard procedure round here is to remove it with wick and use some
real 60/40 Savbit solder to make the repair.


Arent't there some legal issues with that?

But round here = Australia where the RoHS directive is not law.

Nor is it law in Japan, North America and most places.

And would not give a **** if it was.
