Hey friend. So I’ve never soldered before really. I was looking at harbor freight and they have two types could you verify if I could use the cheaper one? I don’t fully know the differences.
Hey! You can definitely use the cheaper one, it's still a lead-free rosin core, but just doesn't come with as much solder as the more expensive one. And you'll use very little for a Tsop flash, not even a quarter of what's in the cheaper one (even less than a quarter of it)
