UK MADE SOLDER NOW IN STOCK

Post by exxos »

I now have genuine UK made solder direct from the factory in the store. Sn63Pb37, 2.2% flux. 0.7mm dia. 250g reel.

https://www.exxosforum.co.uk/atari/store2/#0282

Price at the time of typing is £24.50p.

I thought it was expensive until I saw Rapid's cheapest is £38, and everyone else wants like £50 now! :shock: :shock:

Sn63Pb39 - something is wrong with this marking ;) It is a mass percentage composition of an alloy, but this one sums up to 102% :lol:
I always used solder wires by Cynel Unipress: leaded Sn60Pb40 (60% tin, 40% lead), lead-free Sn99Cu0,7Ag0,3 (99% tin, 0,7% copper, 0,3% silver). I also have some solder pastes (AG TermoPasty): leaded Sn62Pb36Ag2 (62% tin, 36% lead, 2% silver), and lead-free Sn96,5Ag3Cu0,5 (96,5% tin, 3% silver, 0,5 copper). As you can see these numbers always sum up to 100.
