I'm about to purchase new solder and I'm at a loss as to what I am currently
using.  I know its Kester rosin core.  .25 or under ( I can find that out
with my calipers ) but I have no clue if its 60/40 or 63/37.  I have a
feeling its 60/40... but...

I'm assuming the real difference between the two is just the temperature
range it stays liquid at with 60/40 being fairly slow to solidify ( 13
degrees or so of working range? ).  So I'm guessing this is what I have.
Unfortunatly the labels are long since worn off...

Guidence?
