Hi all,
does anyone know the ins and outs of the new lead-free solder legislation?
If we buy a big stockpile of 'proper' solder, will we allowed to use it after the legislation comes in (ie. it becomes illegal to buy/sell but you can use your existing stock 'til it's gone) or will it be illegal to actually USE lead/tin solder after the deadline?
What if we need to repair something that was wired with lead/tin... would we have to de- and re-solder using the unleaded stuff?
