New Unleaded Solder - Can’t say I’m in love with it.

[tooki]

Again thanks to all for giving me insight into this issue.

UPDATE: I’ve arrange to send back the lead free “crap” and have already received a nice 1lb. roll of Kester Sn60Pb40 rosin solder...which I’m very familiar with. I won’t be trying any more lead free or foreign made solders. I will say I’ve had some trouble finding the larger diameter solder that I like to use on larger solder joints. The largest I’ve found so far is .050 or 1.27mm... I would like at least a 1.5mm size but couldn’t find it on Amazon in Kester brand.

You can always just take 2 or 3 strands of a thinner solder and twist them together for the occasional big joint. (If you're constantly using large solder, then it may be worth buying it. Amazon isn't always the best source, as they carry a fairly small selection of solder.)
