"I think electronics people and bullet casters will have to have a special permit or license to possess lead before long! (If the environmental whackos have their way! The anti-gun folks will jump on this bandwagon too, be assured!)"
We have tons of lead we'd love to dump in your back yard in Oak Ridge, (along with mercury and other highly toxic metals.) A lot of of fishermen would enjoy sending you all the lead shotgun shot that sits at the bottom of our lakes making the fish inedible from them. Kester provides data sheets free of charge (including MSDS documents) on their website. These explain what (if anything) is necessary to clean up after soldering. If in doubt, check your materials out before using them. Read and follow the instructions, if in doubt, don't use the product. Most of the QRP construction sites and Elecraft recommend solders that are safe to use, based on experience, use the expertise easily available.
