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 plumbers merchant will sell you some off the reel usually (for
immersion heater and CH applications)

Silicone or butyl? And in black?

Buy a cheap garden extension reel and cut a bit off.
