Lead Free Solder

[ErnieD]

Just bought a 1# roll of lead free solder. $34! Yikes.

Silver solder?

 

[Phil Tibbetts]

Maybe gold solder.

 

[Charles in Aus.]

It doesn't seem to flow very well either

The bought the $26 roll. I think it has less silver than the $34 stuff.

 

[ErnieD]

Nope. Silver solder is $7x a roll at the supply house.

Bismuth and tin I imagine.

I think this is excessive control personified! Having to use lead free solder to solder copper pipes in a house seems totally ridiculous to me. Where's the exposure to start with and how much if any?

100% Agree! The danger is minimal if any even exists.
