Multicore set the standard in the UK for many years and what they
suggested/supplied was what industry used. As everything was hand soldered
then,
it had to be a solder and flux with as wide an operating temperature range
as
possible.
During my brief stint in England (1977-78) I got some Multicore solder and
found it very easy to work with. Is it still available? In the USA?
Ersin Multicore Savbit, 5 core solder. lovely stuff, it has a small
percentage of copper added to the alloy to preserve bit life, and still
available in the UK.
