Please *stop* showing viewers Pb-free solder and water soluble flux for non-rework soldering. There is no reason for hobbyists and makers to use that stuff in preference to leaded solder and RMA rosin flux.
Hello and thanks for watching. I agree that pb-free isn't used much by hobbyists or makers. However, I do try to give a complete overview. You will be happy to know that the next video will use good ol' 63/37.
There are some applications where it works better, such as hand-soldering or reworking 0.5mm pitch components. It has different properties, which are not universally “bad”.
Enjoying your channel Norm, (even if you're showing Pb-free solder .... hehehehe.) Keep up the quality content and presentation.
Not to worry, the next video will use good ol' lead solder. Just trying to cover all sides of the topic.

Fair enough.

@@enojelly9452 Are you referring to Pb-free or leaded solder?
@@R50_J0 Pb-free.
