Another thread just reminded me to post this link of where people in the UK can still get some really good leaded solder...
It is the stuff I have used for ages, and I daresay this is one of the best solders out there to use and it does not stink too bad either.

Re: Leaded solder sources UK
I buy from Rapid Electronics. Their own brand 60/40 is pretty good.

They also stock Warton Metals solders.

Rapid wouldn't allow me to easily buy the leaded solder like others found a few weeks back, but CPC do.

Re: Leaded solder sources UK
Thanks, will add that to the list of must buys. What temperature you set the iron to just out of curiosity?
If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.

350c I use for general stuff, or higher if its on a lot of copper...

I am happy I can get none Chinese solder again from the US. And the solder paste with lead. Tom

This T4 solder paste is really good for the price, I've tried the cheap solder paste and it's far nicer to use
