    Solder content?

    Just picked up 60lbs of I believe is bodysolder. It’s marked Taracorp 2-5/8%. Does anybody know the alloy composition??

    There's a guy here who will analyse it, but most of the old school body solder that came in sticks was 50/50.

    OK People. Enough of this idle chit-chat.

    post #5 says taracorp only made 40/60, 50/50 and 60/40
