Hello all, I was on Grainger's website today looking for tin. and they have 1# rolls of 63/37 for $2.67! I ordered 50 rolls. they still have more! That comes to 33.5#'s of tin for $150.

If it's the same solder I just found on their site, it won't quite make 33.5 lbs of tin. 63% of 50 lbs is 31.5. Also, that is rosin core solder so the yield will be a little less because of the weight of the flux. Still a great deal though. Won't find tin that cheap often.
