Hi Ben,
What solder do you use? Is there a recommendation for certain projects to use a specific type of solder? Thanks!

Yeah, the solder with Silver in it is by far my favorite. I need to buy some more while I still can get leaded stuff. 62% Tin / 36% Lead and 2% Silver. great stuff.
I've always used 63/37 0.4mm diameter leaded solder, I think it is the best for SMD soldering, I also keep some 0.8mm - 1mm for through hole stuff or to tin the soldering iron tip.
Recently, I had to refill again and it turned out I bought 60/40 solder. It works but it takes some time to solidify and the solder joints are not as shinny as with 63/37.
