So I could use 63/37 to solder film & foil Capacitors on my Amplifier Pre-amp
How do I find the Pre-amp Section/circuitry tone control on my Sony home theatre intergrated amplifier
It has specific uses as in jewellery, etc. but is not used in Electronics building.
This can be a great idea to save sensitive components. Just clip the tweezers on the lead on the component side of the joint being soldered. Use the thinnest solder you can manage as it melts quicker than thick solder so you don’t have to sit there with the iron blazing for extra time melting it. Pre tin the lead being soldered with a quick light coat of solder to aid good flow. Use your best judgement as to how much heat is too much heat.
If you are planning to change components in a home theatre amplifier, they will be very small
surface mount parts, and difficult to work with. Not recommended to attempt, unless you have
considerable previous experience, as well as the proper equipment.

Those things are cheap, and parts not available.
Where are you located?
What is the problem in your unit?
If you need to, get it done by a person who repairs cell phones, or computer mother boards.
They will have the tools, materials, and above all experience in doing it.
For SMD work, combination pastes with flux and solder powder are sold, it is applied to the joint, then hot air from work station is used to make the joint.

It is entirely possible to solder SMD components by hand with nothing more than a standard soldering (with a fine tip,) some thin solder (0.5mm) and a pair of pointed tweezers.
With experience, but not when trying to use a film and foil capacitor in place of the original.

There’s a smt paste that melts at 138degC (lower than leaded). Same with flux too.
