Of course. The increased number of failures due solely to solder
joints has kept many a service department busy. Reworking with
"decent" solder is the simplest treatment.

Not in Europe it isn't. There are heavy fines for doing that.

fined
for using the wrong solder for repairs ?

There are many obvious, simple defences to such a charge and almost no
way
to get caught.

Get real.

Europeans are the biggest whining sissies on the planet. There's simply no
other way to put it.

I'm in the US, we can do whatever we want with lead.



Please don't lump the British with the "Europeans". We aren't Europeans in
any way other than an enforced political condition. We never have been and
never will be, and if a lot of people over here had their way, we would also
get out of the political tie-ups to allow us to govern ourselves and make
our own laws again, without interference from Brussels
