    Hi Susan,  Solder temperature can vary greatly, from silver to gold.
    I found that Rio's hard solder barely flows at all.  Hauser and
    Miller has the most even flowing solders, but they tend to color. 
    Hoover and Strong has the highest melting timp solder, but has the
    best color. CH Haffner, Germany, solders flow the best for bezels,
    and fabrication which takes many solders. 

    For all around use, I would go with Hauser and Miller.
