60/40 Rosin Core Solder

[ChaosBlizzard]

I would like to buy some 60/40 Rosin Core Solder, but am not sure what to look for. I see most of this stuff says non-conductive.. Which is odd to me. Shouldn't it be conductive? The stuff I am looking at does say its non-corrosive.

Also I was looking at this for a DeSoldering Braid:

Any suggestions help. I just ordered myself a Hakko FP-102 Soldering station. Figured I should get it while its on sale for $200.00.

I am also thinking about getting this (Model 324):

that just means the flux is non conductive which is good.
i would like to see a non conductive tin/lead/antimony alloy

Yeah I figured that out. I figured that just means the residue left from the "Rosin" wouldn't complete a circuit that shouldn't be completed ...

good choice 8) ...i want one :evil: . nice price also. you can also use the FM-2024 DESOLDERING MODULE with that station if you wanted. expensive upgrade though.

Tell me about it.. I already looked at that desoldering tool. Maybe I will get it some other time though . Nice and expensive all by itself. Too bad the stupid thing didn't come with a TIP though. Heh, the station costs $202.00, and doesn't include even a simple TIP.

Oh well...
