Agreed. Unleaded solder is difficult to work with. I have up long
ago and use 63/37 Pb/Sn for rework. The only catch is that I have
suck up the Unleaded solder before applying the Pb/Sn solder. It's an
antique, but it does the job:

I have almost the same model, but it isn't hot enough for ROHS even at full
power. I thought that was just because of the metal. The tip hasn't seen
much use so maybe something else is going.
