Surely what you want is leaded solder? ;-)

if you can still get it that is ,that's why I stocked up :-)

So do I, but it's easily available from everywhere except Maplin,
and apparently will remain so.

Also, given my component stocks are all lead tinned, I'm not sure

solder with lead-free components, which are slowly starting to
appear in my stocks). I've not noticed any ill effects yet.
