  Mornin' all-

      With all this talk about lead-free, I found that Aim solder has a
patented alloy which they say is a drop is replacement for lead solder.  I
have ordered a sample and am interested not because it is lead free, but
because it has a nearly eutectic melting point of 215-217C.  Does any body
have any experience with this solder paste?  Is there anything I should be
aware of before I use it?  Are there similar products which have nearly
eutectic melting points?  I examined the tech sheets for it and their
claims
seem to be accurate.  I have included the link so the technetters can see
if
there is anything I failed to notice in the tech sheets.
