What constitutes "high-temp solder"? The stuff I use with my iron  
(some Kester h20-soluble flux core wire on a spool)?

I have a basic Fluke thermometer with K-type thermocouple, exposed.  
If I solder this to my board, will I damage it, and won't that affect  
the thermocouple properties (or only if current were to flow into the  
board traces)?
