Could anyone help please with silver solder suppliers?

I've reached the stage where i need to buy some more silver solder and I'm wondering where the best place is to buy from. My last rods were bought at an exhibition at Donnington park a few years ago.

I've looked on the cupalloys site and wondered if there is anywhere cheaper for a low quantity. I only want 5 or 10 off 1mm and 1.5mm.

Thanks.

Cup's prices are quite good and worth supporting them as they offer a lot of support to the hobby

Small amounts will never be cheap, alas.

Please beware of the silver solder bargains on ebay, most are not and very old, If you are building a boiler go to the experts.

Hi surely this is soft lead solder and not high melting point silver solder.

G'day. I don't know if you can get this (or equivalent) in the U.K. It sounds like just what you are looking for.

The pack has 5 sticks of flux coated silver solder and it's very good.
