The small chip size makes it easier to place solder exactly where you need it for fine soldering tasks.
HINT - American instructions recommend gold plating the end of Gold Filled wires to cover the exposed base metal. In Australia, gold plating supplies are expensive initially then may deteriorate in months. Instead, melt a chip of solder on the end of the wire. Quick, easy.
Several years ago, when everyone could afford it, we used to stock 9ct (375) gold wire, solder and casting granules for amateur jewellery makers. The 14/20GF wires plus the new 14ct chip solders make an excellent, affordable, long lasting alternative to expensive solid 9ct (375), 18ct (750) gold.
