Rosin core solder

Post by KevG »

Been looking on EBay for some rosin core solder as I went in Maplins last weekend and they wanted a fortune for it,

But why does everything have to come from China that's reasonable priced,

Anyone know for a good UK based supplier that does not cost the earth,

Yeah mate 0.7-1mm rosin core I was after, just loath paying £20+ for a reel, just want 100g and willing to pay,

Not sure if what I have been using for God knows how long is acid or rosin, so nicked a meter of the stuff we got in work to do my Naze and PDB but want some stuff for future use, cos the stuff I had from work is nearly gone,

Drop me a PM with price Tony,

Almost everything comes from China. I normally got to radio shack but you can check fry's electronics. Fry's (I think) does retail and wholesale. So look around.
