BTW, there will always be Tin / Lead solder available. Yes, Lead free is
being used in new fabrication -- BUT conventional tin-lead materials
(components) are NOT compatible with the new lead-free device finishes.
As part of the global transition to lead-free, component manufacturers are
switching to lead-free finishes -- BUT this takes time and inventories are
very large for some components.

Pure Tin and Tin/Lead alloy solders are used in other industries that do not
have these restrictions .. such as the stained glass industry, auto body,
restoration work, etc.
