That's not universally true. It is true for lead-based solders, but it
isn't true for lead-tin solders. It's the lead that disintegrates, byt
the way, but it leaves the rest of the solder porous. All of that is
why I said to use lead-free solder in my post. Plumbing solder works.

Just my $.02 worth.
