Lead free solder is absolute CRAP.

But lead is unsafe!

Mostly when being thrown at you at high speed.

But yea. Lead-Free is only "free" if you don't mind frustration and failure. I'm an old hand at frustration and failure, but I never learned to like it yet.
Figures the price of leaded solder went up 3X once it became a government problem.
I feel more like I do now than I did when I first got here.
