Wrong again Gareth!!

tin lead solder is not banned "to the exclusion of all else".
It is still allowed in biomedical, military and some avionics equipment
and for the repair of items that were built with tin/lead. It is still
easy to purchase 60/40.

Why do you always behave in such a negative, anti-social and dysfunctional
manner?
