Sources for low melting point solder
Here's a small quantity of Sn/Bi wire solder: Tools (at alltronics.com): "Melcor Low Temp Bismuth Tin Wire Solder... Melcor part number 16-65-019-01... includes 2 feet of 138 deg C solder (Indalloy # 281) and the instruction sheets, spec sheet and warning sheet (don't eat it). Alltronics part number 04Z054... Unit Price : $2.95". They don't mention the diameter, but from the illustration I would guesstimate 1/30" very roughly.
Melcor themselves sell 16-65-019-01 online for $1.35, 25/$32.50, apparently without the literature that Alltronics includes.
