Im making e matches and as most of you have discovered soldering nichrome wire is impossibe without special flux so Ive decided to go down the route of resistors namely surface mount types.
Sorry to ask an already partly answered question again but you guys have more experience than me under your collective belts and in this line of hobby its best to avoid too much experimenting so..............
Is anyone using resistors to make e matches already? If yes then.........
what are the ratings you have found best to use?
where do you get them?
How much? (I have found series 805 surface mount resistors on the rs site but was suprised to see them at 40p each? I was lead to believe they were more like 4p each?)
any info or leads will be gratefully apreciated..
Phill
