That should be all the info i need.
However, i do believe soldering is really an art. I've heard of this friend of a friend who fires off a soldered banana plug and 12ga wire in about a minute or two. Now that doesn't sound too amazing until you see how SMALL the banana plug is that he uses!!
Holy crap. This thing is wayyy tiny. I have no clue whatsoever how he gets that large a wire rolled tight enough to fit.
It is truly an art.
I just need to keep practicing.
Just offhand though, almost all of the solder i've come across so far is still the 60/40 lead/tin mixes. In fact, i had to order online for lead free stuff if you can believe it! (97/3 tin/copper for electronics)
