So I've been really busy for too long now on work matters. One aspect of that was hand soldering SMD boards. As I looked at my dwindling spools of solder I thought it would be useful to order some more. But yikes, the cost was surprising. So I thought I would test a few varieties from Chinese sources.
The results were generally disappointing. Here then is a brief summary of what I found:
I do wonder how the Chinese can manufacturer so many electronic products without good quality solder. It must exist, but so far I have not found anything that matches what the manufacturers must be using.
I will try a few more rolls from different manufacturers in due course. If you have found something that works, I'd like to hear about it as would anyone else reading this.
