Default (Part 2) Tests for PbF / SnPb solder

followup
Looks as though the orange colouration is due to tin/stannic iodide, from
the Sn in SnPb and PbF. After a week or so the orange colouration appeared
in the solution in the PbF test tube also.
Even more convincing collection of scintillating gold flecks in the SnPb
test tubes
