Where to buy solder?

Re: Where to buy solder?

I ordered a small (50g) roll of 0.5mm 63/37 rosin core for a couple of bucks from the same place I ordered the ESR/Tranny tester (AliExpress). I don't need a whole lot of it usually.

My solder goodies came in!

100g solder for $4.50.

I haven't done a whole lot with it yet, but my testing so far is that its pretty good. Bought a cheapie stand to go with it too. Took about a month to get here, thankfully I ordered in advance...

interesting stand.
probably smaller than it looks though if that's a 100g reel of lead solder.
my 250g roll of lead-free would fill it!

Amazon, radioshack, walmart (some of them), Lowes, Home depot. I get some there, usually from radioshack though. I also have a local HW store that has some nice Alpha Fry solder. I use that a lot.

A 500g would probably fit too. Lots of room as long as the sppol does not exceed the length. I dont think these are actually made for export. I bet these are in use in local factories in china.
