Pros & Cons
Pros
Used a fine-tip on a weller soldering iron. We do a lot of custom hotrod wiring. It’s very easy to use even for people who may not be great at soldering.
Worked great. Unspools nicely, melts nicely, flows nicely. Real rosin core. Flows and holds like the solder of the olden days.
The joints shine like polished silver. Cools shiny with perfect fillets.
Cons
With a good weller soldering station at low heat the solder leaves a thick brown residue and requires additional flux to get a smooth solder. Lead damages the brain, and causes cancer, high blood pressure, and violent/criminal behavior.

Cheap solder likes to lump up and not flow properly
