Default Re: Availability of Leaded Solder?

Yes, I am not (yet) too concerned. My local hardware store supplies various consumables that are labelled 'professional use only'. I think at the moment it's likely just a labelling regulation, as it with 33% HCL or 98% H2SO4 for cleaning drains. Nitric is restricted of course, but only because of the explosive connotations. The way society is going i think Pb/Sn/Rosin will continue to be tolerated.
