Not trying to hijack the thread, but I do have some additional questions.. My soldering 'background' is mostly automotive components which have bigger wire-18ga and larger.. Of course layout wiring also.. I recently purchased a Solomon SL-30 Digital Soldering Station, which I have yet to use, to solder ~ 28ga wire et al.... I was using Sosmetal 812620 High Strength/ Low Temp solder.. The composition of the solder is not stated.. It has a Rosin Core, and I know it has lead in it based on the "Warning" on the back..

Questions:

1. Should I toss this Sosmetal solder or continue to use it..

2. Purchase the Kester listed above?? That's more solder than I'd use in a lifetime..

3. Any other solder recommendations..
