I bought a roll of solder, I think just under 0.5lb (haven't measured) for $4 USD. I initially noticed it said "L.M.P. Silver Alloy" and perhaps this really is silver solder (62/36/2)...but is it?
I don't know how accurate my solder iron is but that will be my first check...though I wonder if the resolution would be high enough, or if I have actual 63/37 to compare against.
Any other qualitative tests I could do?
The spool is an old wooden spool. "Multicore Ersin Five Core" and "B62 Flux" (???) but it could have been a respool (though doesn't look like it.) Cutting off a piece and seeing if it has 5 cores would be something I should check too.
Did I get ripped off?
