I have been using some old solder left over by my dad for years, creating perfect joints, I have had to buy more & it doesn't want to play ball?
It looks dull
I am using a 12/24v transformer he made years ago to run iron, I have always used 24v but new solder is thinner & just does its own thing, am I using too much heat? I have tried 12v but then it doesn't want to melt?
Can you buy wrong electric solder, old stuff was about 3mm thick, new stuff about 1mm?
Thanks
