Default Re: Using Lead free solder.

There's nothing to stop you using leaded solder to repair consumer equipment, it's only intended to reduce the impact of large amounts of lead causing contamination of the environment. The odd joint is neither here nor there. These days very much less reaches landfill in any case. Multiple layers of sorting are in place, the scrap is too valuable!
