Is three really solder that's 200$ a ft. My speaker guy claimed he used over 200$ in solder doin my million dollar speaks?????
That is the solder that is 100 feet in diameter that he used :) Either that or he ascribed to one of my favorite technician sayings "The bigger the blob, the better the job"

Why do I always see this kind of thing after buying a lifettime supply of the inferior product??
Not inferior Lee, just different... both are 63/37 in metallurgy.

Give it a try when you get a chance. I think you will like how it flows. I still use the "44" when I have to solder un-tinned brass to PCBs as in the swage terminals on the capacitor boards. The activated flux in the "44" is more aggressive and does a better job there. But cleanup takes longer using the "44"
