Hi, I've decided on buying a 30W Antex HP30 soldering iron, however I'm not sure about what solder to go for.
I want a solder that is easy to use, however I'm not quite sure about what composition to go for.
60/40 and 63/37, tin/lead seem pretty good to me, however I may not completely be understanding things. Is the melting point important or would any cheap tin / copper solder work fine ?
I'm not too concerned about there being lead in the solder as I'm hardly going to eat it, the lead containing solder seems to be slightly cheaper so should I go with that or look for a lead free solder ?
