One of the very popular statements regarding soldering, especially on a hobby-grade usage, is that lead-free solder sucks and what you need is an excellent Sn60Pb40 lead solder! Everything else does not want to flow, clods and such lead-free solder joint is garbage. Hobbyists should forget about lead-free solder! Last time I checked (a few years ago), it was the absolute truth. All the lead-free solders I tested back then were crap.
A few years passed, and I decided to check what changed on the field of soldering. I went shopping, got a brand new Sn60Pb40 solder, lead-free with copper (Cynel Sn99,3Cu0,7), and lead-free with silver (3,8% of silver) and checked how they behave. The results are not that obvious like years ago...
