I'm looking for solder for repairing electronic wiring. This says it is for plumbing. Can this be used or is there an alternative product?
From a google search, I discovered that for electrical use you need rosin-core solder. Searching for this, I found that another product. Not sure why that didn't come up when I searched for solder.

Plumbing solder is acid core, and shouldn't be used with wiring as it can corrode the wires.
