Greetings.  The mention of silver solder triggered an old memory which
may or may not be relevant.  I seem to recall reading that silver
solder was definitely to be avoided for electronics work, and that
some kinds of silver solder use a flux which definitely *is*
toxic (the memory says "cadmium") rather than the rosin flux used
in typical tin/lead solder formulations.
