Re solder melting in the UK

Robert Allbright
Howdy Elecraft friends

I purchased some 60/40 solder from Rapid Electronics Ltd

but I made the mistake of purchasing the 18SWG size which is too thick

The 22SWG type should be just right for a small bit soldering iron.

Fortunately I came across a reel of 22SWG size in one of my boxes of  
bits.

Happy days
