Was looking for tin to add to my melt and was told you can use lead free solder. Is this any lead free solder? The stuff i looked at today said lead free silver solder.Is this the right stuff?

It will work but, its the 95-5 Tin/Antimony that is the best.
If it is 2% silver and you mix 2% with your lead , you will have only minute traces of silver that will not hurt a thing.

Lead free usually means 95% tin and 5% antimony, silver solder is an entirely different animal.
