croweater wrote:Aquasafe geez I asked them about that was told no good copper to copper with a torch sorry bud just buy the dear as fuck stuff , lead free sticks in the plumbing section if its like my bunnings I was told no good for potable water i think he was spot on there I'm sure its call rasin solder or similar its tin and antimony which as i understand doesn't build up in your body like lead and chronically poison ya , as you piss it out but its so very toxic that you may be acutely poisoned and may die of organ failure before your body has the chance to expel it and recover , of cause this all depends on how much you are exposed to it or ingest it . In other words to my understanding if ya only planning to poison yourself a bit at a time apart from be slightly unwell you'll probably ok . I could be wrong wouldn't be the first time but I did spend a quite a few hrs researching this stuff EDIT :In this thread posted by devotus is a link that tells ya whats in what solder and just google those elements some pretty scary shit man :-s
croweater wrote:No I already found out aquasafe is good its the cheaper lead free resin solder thats bad news , lead free because the lead is supplemented by antimony . $11 fark bunnings is $37 be looking into that ASAP .
