Solder question

Most electronic assembly these days is done with "organic" ie water
soluble flux solder such as Kester 331. This solders very well and
cleans up with warm water. If cleaning is not practical, a "no clean"
solder such as Kester 245 is great.

Rosin core solders require environmentally questionable, sometimes
flammable solvents for cleaning and are pretty much something to avoid
for the serious assembler.

Regards.
