Can you solder stained glass with lead-free solder from a hardware store?
Elyse asked:
Hi, just curious if anyone out there solders stained glass with the
cheaper solder you can find in the plumbing dept of home depot? They
only carry lead-free solder, and it's $6 for a pound, yet in the hobby
stores the lead-free solder specifically for stained glass is over
$20. Is it the same thing???

I'm hoping to stay safe and not spend too much in my new hobby!
