thin solder wire

[John CutlerParticipant]

2 or 3 years ago I purchased some solder wire that is 0.7mm in diameter.
It is 145C, maybe slightly less or thereabouts; definitely not 188c.
I think it was bought at a local show: Warminster, Wells, Wimborne or Wilton.

I tried to track it down on the internet but with no success.
So I have ended up with Eileens 1mm diameter.

The 0.7mm wire is great for intricate work and I would like to find some more.

Does anyone know a supplier, please?

Hi John
I have some Saphire solder from DCC Concepts.
145 Solder 0.6mm
179 solder 0.65mm.
Usual disclaimer!,

Hope this helpful.

Thanks Roger

The DCC Concepts website shows the 145C solder specification to be 0.8mm diameter.
I assume you measured yours so 0.6mm is the actual?

Peters Spares sell this at a discount, but it is still expensive (£5.30).
They also sell electrical 60/40 leaded solder (0.75mm dia) at 30p a metre.
A big difference!

Yes measured on the solder I have, bought late last year – at Warley.
