I know this is a bit off topic.... I am finally ready to make a dipole or
two. I noticed that the solder I've been using (it came with the Weller gun) is 60/40. I am Planning to purchase a bit more and it seems to come in a variety of mixes. Is there a preferred solder for amateur use and where do you typically purchase this? I was looking online, but would love to find it locally.
Thanks,
Zach
Hi Zack
The finest quality solder mix for our job is 62 % Sn ,36% Pb and 2% Ag with plastic rosin from ALFHA METALS INC. a well know manufacturer in Jersey City,New Jersey or Chicago Illinois or Los Angeles California. You will find many sellers on Google.
