If you're interested in getting pcbs, using this link https://www.pcbway.com/setinvite.aspx... for my friends over at PCBWay.com is a huge help to the channel.

I had some work to do, so I thought it would be fun to compare some of the various types of solder I had back to back to get a feel for the experience of using each one.

These are the products used in this video and my other favorite soldering accessories.
