Otherwise these days I use a lead-tin solder with the flux INSIDE (IIRC has one of the lower melting points). I actually have just the solder and a separate "cake" of rosin and that's an OLD relic (from around the time my mom became a landed immigrant in the 80's) I didn't know they still sell solder without flux inside. I'm not an expert on this stuff though, only taken one electronics course in high school and one digital design course in university.

No, they still sell solder without flux inside. Sometimes, the flux within the solder isn't enough. Just get one of those solder pens that they have. TBH, the melting point really doesn't matter that much. Crank it to 700-750F and solder it quickly.
Yeah, I'm no expert either. Although I was the top of the high school in electronics :X, but my university program isn't directly related to this stuff. I've been soldering seriously for probably over four years. Before that, I just messed with the irons for as long as I can remember. My pops has been doing it for over 45 years though.
