 		 #102352 - Mixing
Responding to: ???'s previous message
You CAN'T MIX "lead-free" and 60/40 solder - the metallurgy is awful and the joints unreliable. All your components must be lead free to use lead free solder too. You can use old components which are "tinned" (literally) with lead free, but of course with higher iron temps., you have to be careful not to cook things.
