Tin source

Headed to Lowes in search of tin solder to harden up some pure lead I found.

What specifically should I be looking for?

Lead-free solder. It's usually all tin.

Some, such as Silvabrite, has a teeny bit of copper and silver in it.
It works wonderfully though. Kinda pricey at Lowe's, but if that's the only place you can find it......

Excellent, thanks. It's 5 minutes up the road, so more of a convenience thing.
