You should be able to buy good solder from Farnell Italia : All solders: https://it.farnell.com/c/strumenti-e-forniture-di-produzione/stazioni-saldanti-e-accessori/saldatura/filo-saldante Loctite / Multicore, Kester Solder, Stannol, Edsyn ... good brands. There may or may not be a problem buying them as a private person (some new regulations not allowing lead based stuff to be sold to private persons I think) If that's the case, maybe order from Digikey in US? You get free shipping with a minimum order, and customs/DHL/UPS people probably won't be aware of these regulations or won't care. If you want liquid fluxes, you should check out TME.EU ... https://www.tme.eu/en/katalog/fluxes_100484/ They stock fluxes from a Polish company (AG Thermopasty) and they're quite OK, and cheap for the volume : long link |

I tested them, look to be non-corrosive, non-conductive once dried. Others, afaik, have a special purpose. With some luck it's possible to find very minimal info on their website http://termopasty.pl/en/products-en/welding-brazing/ . Again, no datasheets or something (available documents are almost useless). I also requested info directly from the factory by email, no reply whatsoever. |

Basically, it only works if parts are new and shiny. --- End quote --- stannol has many flux options - you can get something more agressive, but you may need to clean it off afterwards. you could try kristall511, or 2630 variants. https://www.stannol.de/products/solder-wires/?L=1 |

I had no idea. But it’s not obvious — they don’t market themselves as being part of Loctite/Henkel. It’s just mentioned casually on the company history page. But it definitely explains why they are the only other brand with multiple flux cores. |

The sticker on the spool looks with the exception of the brand name identical. |
