What type of solder do you use and why?


I'm starting for the first time "DIY" mods. Thanks.

Wonder Solder works very well, flows quite easily and does not leave a lot of flux residue behind. I've have "shared" solder with several people just starting out in "DIY Land" and they have all commented how much nicer and easier the Wonder Solder was to work with in comparison to Cardas, Kester, etc... You can find Wonder Solder along with Cardas and WBT at Michael Percy Audio. You do have to download his current catalogue via Adobe, but it is not that much of a hassle. If you order from Michael, please be patient. He is almost always running very noticeably behind schedule and it might take a while. He is very thorough though and you will get exactly what you ordered so long as he has it in stock. I mention this as i have ordered from other suppliers and after waiting for the order to show up, i've received incorrect items and had to put the project on hold even longer. Sean

Bear, i've heard rumour that Wonder Solder is a formulation that Tektronic's developed for use in their test equipment. How true this is, i don't know. Sean
