I just started soldering and have a random selection of solder. I thought I would sell that and pick some up that I know what it is. It has been my experience it is generally worth getting half decent stuff. So, I asked a guy. But he is in the states. Sounds like he knows what he is talking about. He suggests: 63/37 With RMA flux core. Suggests a decent make like Kester, multicore,AIM and AlphaMetals. Fine, I thinks. Makes sense, I thinks. So, I hunt and hunt and have got in a spin with tens of tabs open. Seems like I am hunting for Hen's Teeth. Best I get is Farnell UKBut it is 1lb (450g). Comes in at £53.47 after VAT and it is 0.8mm when actually, I would prefer more like 0.5mm. (£16 is shipping from the states, don't know what the import fees might be either) Well, I would quite like one of each. I would rather get 125g and get a 0.5, a 0.8 and maybe an RA as well of one of the sizes. Is there a more local, maybe euro, make that is as good do we know? Cheers.

Nice one, thanks.

It appears to be 60/40 0.7mm wire so yes it is likely to be ok

Enjoy

How do you know that?
I get the 0.7mm from the 22SWG.
But the 60k = 60/40 does it?
