No problem, I still have rolls of the good old leaded (60/40) rosin
core stuff. Just to make sure: the parts and boards are not lead-free
and need to be soldered using lead-containing solder, right?

What is the reason that you use two different kinds of solder
(organic and no-clean)? I could not find that in the archives.

(Actually lead-containing parts/solder/etc. are still available here,
as long as you basically do not manufacture anything new with it.
It's perfectly legal for use in service and spare-parts for example.
Also, certain areas of industrie are excluded for at least until 2008.)

With kind regards,
Ben
