Do you prefer lead or lead-free solder? I’ve been using 60/40 for the PCB pads and lead-free for the hardware. (Two separate irons too so they don’t cross-contaminate.) I was at Home Depot getting more of the larger solder and noticed they also had 60/40 lead solder in that size. I wasn’t sure which to get but went with lead-free again since it is what I’m used to and since my setup is already in place for it. Wondering if that is good, bad, or if it simply doesn’t matter.
