My experience is different, which is just more evidence to support using
the solder you prefer.
I routinely build surface mount boards with lots of fine pitch parts
(like K3 prototype boards :-) using either 0.031" or 0.025" diameter
solder. I never use anything finer.
Lyle got it right. My solder, K2, KX1, WM1, is Alpha Solder, 63/37
0.015 ... very fine, very controllable. As he said, YMMV. Bottom line
is what works for you. It's an eye-hand-mechanical operation, use what
works, avoid the ones they tell you to avoid.
