    I usually use 60/40 rosin core solder.

    I sometimes use tin/silver solder (no lead) but I find it more difficult to work with.

    Here is a video explanation: http://www.ehow.com/video_4419667_types-solder.html

    Lead-Free solder:



    is much safer than Rosin solder, even though it is harder to work with.
    Just accelerate, and only good will come.

    You can get Lead Free solder with a rosin core (flux).

    It isn't the flux that is the environmental concern, it is the lead content.
