What are you using? Lead-free solder dries dull.

had me worried for a bit there. yes it's lead free 96 tin/3 silver/.5 copper. Why would I get a ball of solder on the tip that just won't flow into the joint? That happened only at the end of the day when I moved from the small resistors to bigger ones, and some little square film capacitors. I got frustrated and quit for the day.
Lead feee has a higher melting point. An adjustable soldering iron might be a wise purchase if you plan to keep using this solder. Some people feel the led free sounds better. It is definitely safer. Of course, always heat the work, not the solder (my father used to say).

Any of it necessary OR even give audible advantage over an ls170 pair?
Mere curiosity is all.
