Re: [Amps] current threads about silver solder and resoldering

[Rob Atkinson <ranchorobbo@gmail.com>]

You can still go out to stores in US and buy solder with lead.  I went
to buy some yesterday (new solder in stores is expensive).   I have a
lot of tin/lead solder cheap from hamfests but for outdoor junctions I
use the tin-copper-silver solder made and sold by manufacturers such
as Bernzomatic.  It is mostly tin with (according to the MSDS) around
20% copper, 0.5% silver and 1 or 2 % rosin flux.  an 8 ounce roll cost
$14.   I am glad I don't use it much.  It seems to hold up well out in
the wx.
