    Yes but silver solder is better less resistance with silver means better power flow .
    :p What go faster that's what I like to do!

      I use a 240watt gun for batteries...I hate sitting around and waiting for the iron to heat the work.

        my soldering gun heats almost instantly (give it about 5 seconds and its ready to solder)

        ill check out the silver solder (i can probably get it at home depot though)

            I use a Tin/Lead ratio of 63/37 due to it's lack of a plastic state. Solder joints that are disturbed (moved) during the plastic state will result in damaged connections. For this reason, 63/37 solder is the best alloy for electronic work. Solder with 60/40 alloy is also acceptable, but it goes into a plastic state between 361 and 370 degrees Fahrenheit. When soldering joints with 60/40 alloy, you must exercise extreme care to prevent movement of the component during cooling.
