The Lead Test - what is it?

Post by SuburbanStiller »

When somebody posts an antique still, somebody else always says to do "the lead test" on the solder. What is this test?

Its just a kit you buy from the store(i know home depot has em) to test for lead in old paint etc. or in our case old solder. Just follow the directions in the kit.
