I was wondering if anyone could point me to a good place to get silicone soldering wire in different colors without having to pay a ridiculous price. I've looked everywhere and haven't found any good sources so please help me and just let me know where you got your wire.
Thanks

Re: Colored Solder Wire
Adafruit sells 2m of 30 Gauge for $0.75, and 2m of 26 Gauge for $0.95 for so if you were to get multiple colors it wouldn't be too much . You would just have to deal with their ridiculous shipping costs...

Re: Colored Solder Wire
Exactly why I went with the Striveday wire from Amazon. $13 for 4 rolls of wire that are 10m each. $9 for shipping on $0.75 is insane.
