15 years of soldering with all alloys, well.. stop soldering on a motel bed.

IF you are worried about whiskers when using Pb Free Solder, then dont' use a Pure Tin plated PCB.   But that has'tn been really done for years.   ENIG, or HASL finish, and you wont' get whiskers.

The real answer is 'it depends'. Theres a reason why there are many different types of solder. Theres no one answer to this question.

Won't they grow out of the solder blob rather than the PCB footprint?
