Perhaps it should be mentioned that there are solder pastes specifically
for electronic work. See the example given.

If you go to that company's home page there seem to be lot of options for
selecting your country so maybe you can buy from them.

For all my work I now use "Low mwlting point solder" also available from
the above, who are a major supplier of electronic components of all sorts.

Interestingly they have a kit for a CNC PCB drill that is made of wood!

No connection with the above company other than as a satisfied customer.
