Hi Guys



What is the correct/recommended solder (ratio) to use for us when we do need to solder a couple of wires together

Hello John



I am no expert, but I remember being recommended the 60/40.



Cheers

I spent an entire career sticking wires together with Kester 60/40 rosin
	


core electronics solder, and then heard about 63/37, which makes getting a

good  joint, if not a no-brainer, at least a less-brainer. Either works

fine on properly executed joints. If I ever use up what's left of my 60/40,

I'll buy some 63/37.

EDIT! I got sloppy doing the search. I didn't pay attention to the part # of that Kester solder. Might be great, but the stuff I've used is Kester 44.

Sorry for the confusion.

If you're a full grown adult doing this as a hobby, you can put what's left of the roll in your will, and your kids can probably do the same in theirs.

   See attached . . .



   Buying solder is a bit problematic . . . it's

   increasingly expensive in the common put-ups (1 lb).

   A pound of solder will last you a very long time.



   Drop me an address and I'll send you some 63/37

   in the mail that will probably service your

   near term needs.



   Alternatively, ebay is a good source for

   smaller put-ups. Here's an exemplar offer

   Un impeachable logic: George Carlin asked, "If black boxes

   survive crashes, why don't they make the whole airplane

   out of that stuff?"
