Default source of silicone mains cable by the metre?

Hi All I would like to rewire my Dad's old 'big copper bit' 85W
soldering iron with some modern silicone mains cable. All the suppliers
I've seen sell it by the reel, and I only want 3m or so. So - any
suggestions for a source? 1.0mm three-core would probably be fine.


1mm is a bit overkill.

Butyl will do the job as well, and is more readily available. 0.75mm - if
it will physically fit.

If old it would probably have been TRS rubber cable. Got a drum of that
here.
