    I agree. I checked the price at Lowe's recently and was shocked!
    You can miss fast & you can miss a lot, but only hits count.

    Any free score is good but thats a Great score. You got enough solder to sweeten a lot of lead. Congrats!

    been lucky enough to work in an industry that utilizes solder for alot of projects. when they throw it away they contact me for the hazardous disposal.. if i had to guess i would say i have easily 200+ pounds of solder in my hoard.. about 1/3 of that is the lead free 97% tin type.

    Right place at the right time? I guess you must mean where the casting cornucopia gets dumped!
    Nice score to put it mildly. Bet you could so unload that solder AS solder for more than it is worth as boolit casting material. Not to say that being cast as a boolit is not a high calling for tin to aspire to.
    Scrap.... because all the really pithy and emphatic four letter words were taken and we had to describe this source of casting material somehow so we added an "S" to what non casters and wives call what we collect.

    Kind of hard to claim to love America while one is hating half the Americans that disagree with you. One nation indivisible requires work.

    BIGRED, the majority of the rolls of solder are running @ $20 or more per roll. You may want to try to sell to buy more lead.
    Also, check the mix. You will find they are not 100% lead.

    I know solder real well.. Been using it for 25+ years. This is a mix of 60/40 and 63/37. Solder is more valuable as Tin not lead.. I have a very nice Hoard of lead free solder as well 97% Tin.

    Is tin envy a thing like lead envy?
