I bought Silver-Bearing Solder at Radio Shack (.022 dia, 62/36/2, #64-013E)
and now, after reading so much on what I used to think was a pretty simple
subject, Rosin Core:  Good, Acid Core: Bad, I wonder if what I bought is OK?

If the solder is has a rosin (or resin) or "no clean" core -- be it 60/40, 63/37 or 62/36/2 -- it is fine.

If the solder is water-soluble, or acid core, it is bad.  Very bad.

YMMV, I am not responsible if your kit corrodes, etc... ;-)
