That's all ordered.
Where do you guys buy your leaded solder? Have spent hours trying to find Multicore RA in 0.32" without any joy.

You won't find leaded solder any more, most of us have a stock of it from before the rules changed.

I did find some in the end, but it was expensive - £23.99 from a company called Cromwell's. Farnell's sell it, as does Somerset Solders (although they have only one leaded option).
AliExpress also has a large range, but 99% of it is of suspect quality apparently.

I don't think leaded solder is RoHS compliant.

Worked for an electronics company for 10 years as my first job. Breathed in lead/tin solder fumes every day I was there.... No wonder I'm not right.....
