Hi Bruce

Why will the solder behave like that Bruce....? Really curious.... my Dad use to buy old military radios in the 50s to build Amateur radios..... which included a dump truck load of no 19..... he use to keep me busy unsoldering various parts for him....... wires had been cut and I was charged with removing the left over pig tail wire...... I was shown how to use a drinking straw to blow away the melted extra solder from the little holes on the connecting pins.

I know he soldered some parts back in various devices but not sure what he used.
