Solder? Where and what solder?

[walwalka]

My crimper broke and I'm looking to solder all my 1/0 lugs now, my question is where and what solder do you guys buy?

What diameter? Links appreciated!

Thanks guys!

I use 60/40 rosin core solder as well as some wire flux. If you go to homedepot or lowes, they have soldering kits that's come with everything you need for like $25. I think it comes with a propane blowtorch, solder, flux, and a flux brush. The flux is a MUST if you don't want to completely melt the insulation off as it will wick the solder into the wire at a much lower temperature making it where you don't need to use as much heat.

I use this solder but my little torch is the cheap orange one from Harbor Freight.

I used 60/40 rosin core ive read dont use acid core also

For 1/0 and up, I use the propane torch. But for really anything smaller than that I use this little butane torch I got from advanced auto

How much of that solder would I need to do like 10 1/0 lugs?

Thanks guys, I'm gonna have my dad pick me up some of that solder tonight.

If you buy the one posted, it's more than enough for 10 lugs. Trust, each lug doesn't require too much and the one posted is real thick solder.

Go to Wal-Mart in the car audio look around there and you can get a small roll for 2 dollars. Well I can at my wal-marts . I like the home depot better.
