No, you're not. You might think you are... but what you really want is
rosin-based.

I haven't purchased the stuff for years.


Apparently long enough to have forgotten what to use.

Things have changed quite a bit.


Not that much. Electrical soldering requires rosin, and *not* acid.

Just get yourself a roll of rosin-core solder. Radio Shack sells it, and
you should be able to find it at ACE Hardware or Tru-Value.
