    I always put Ag solder through rolling mills to make a thinner section [0.2mm].Cut pallions with standard jewellers shears .Seems to have worked for the past 40 years!

    Not sure if I end up with mine quite as thin as 0.2mm, but other than that same here (OK, so I'm not at 40 years yet either!).

    We weren’t taught to roll ours down 40years ago and the one time recently where I did I could not judge how much I needed so I’ll stick with what I know and what works for me.
