I ran out of solder so I stopped at the hardware and they had two types of solder; 95/5 and 60/40. I was wondering if one is better/different than the other. That got me thinking about my silver solder at work. We use stuff called Stay-Brite which is tin/silver. Am I actually reducing the quality by using 60/40 or 95/5 instead of the silver? Does using lead have any electrical advantage? Can I use the StayBrite on wires?
