Post by: hexyjones on March 31, 2005, 12:41:52 AM

Is this stuff suitable for audio?

It says 62/36/2

You might be better off getting the 4% silver solder like WBT.  That RS stuff may be suitable on some level but the WBT is widely respected.   You can buy it by the ounce from some parts vendors.  HomeGrownAudio sells it by the ounce.   An ounce is quite a bit.
