Hi Jan, I don't have any recommendations for purchasing solder paste, but have some experience with so-called expired paste. I have 2 600g tubes of Kester solder paste that expired about 2 years ago and I'm still using it. I had been told by someone that it could be rehydrated with IPA, but my paste hasn't dried out enough that I've needed to hydrate it and the flux is still doing it's job. I store mine in an unheated basement. Flux has a shelf life, but I have a roll of solder from the 70's and the flux core is still working. Don't know of any inexpensive sources for 10 mil solder wire. I rarely use anything smaller than 32 mil. Regards, Dennis

Re: Where do you get small amounts of solder paste or fine gauge solder wire?
