Hello all!

I have just started my first PCB project with the Kester organic water
soluble solder. Having been used to rosin core solder for 35 years or
so, I am finding it a bit difficult to determine the proper technique
for this stuff. I have the soldering iron set to about 700 Fahrenheit,
as I was used to production line work when working as a technician. The
solder does not seem to "flow" as well as the rosin core solder. Can I
achieve better results with a lower temp? Or is this just the nature of
the product? I don't seem to be getting the flow of solder through to
the component side of the board. Any hints would be appreciated.
