Is this solder ok?

250g of solder seems way too much for just a couple of joints so this looks a more cost effective option, assuming that it is fit for still building.

Is 1 metre of it enough for a couple of 54mm joints?

That seems pretty expensive as I bought 2 reel of 500g each for £11 from eBay. No harm in having more than you need when it's not that expensive (the flux is more expensive..)

For me, a small spend is better than a bigger spend as I very much doubt I'll be making another still if this build is fit for purpose.

btw, jtmplumbing do lead free solder 1/4 + 1/2 kilo at the same price of £9.60 but I forgot to add it to my (free delivery) order. >:(
