Re: Availability of Leaded Solder?
I just discovered that my old reels of Rosin cored 18SWG (badged as SAV1 alloy) are 50% Sn, 48.5% Pb and 1.5% Cu. It has never seemed to be quite as flowable/user friendly as 60/40.
I think that in the short term what we might expect is a change in legislation to allow only boxed reels, with a big hazard label on the box. Something along the lines of the standardised letter 'a' logo that we used to see on boxes of brake pads.
