Solder with tin in weld
I ran out of lead free solder and just needed to finish the 2" copper cap so I used a led free solder with tin. Will this affect my spirits? I want to make sure before I do a run with it. Thanks.

Re: Solder with tin in weld
Q1 - What was the composition of the lead-free solder that you ran out of?
I'll bet it had some Tin.
Q2 - What else besides Tin is in your current solder?
Hopefully NO Cadmium.
Tin, Copper and Silver are good.
Mine also has Bismuth, and I'm okay with it.
HTH,
