Hi all:
I am considering making my own solder paste, but I don't have a source of powdered Tin/Cu/or Sn.
I was thinking of somehow grinding solder wire into powder.
Solder wire is quite ductile/malleable and may not 'grind' easily so b4 I make a mess I was hoping for suggestions.
I need to do this as I am outside the USA and the commercial stuff is not stocked at all here. Doing a little batch from time to time seems to be a good way to keep fresh material on hand.
