I read an article about the rohs in europe coming about due to lead being used in soldering drinking water plumbing pipes. Supposibly the legistration to deal with the issue was a little too loosly worded and now we have to deal with the aftermath.

I intend to continue using 63/37 leaded solder. And if it ever looks like it will become unavailable i intend to buy a bunch of spools :D

The silver solder I've been told is really only suppose to be used on surface mount components that include silver in their contacts. I've been told that without the silver in your solder you can "leech" the silver off the surface mount point. I don't know this to be true, just been told by a large manufacturer friend.
