It seems that you were educated on this point specifically, but I read that consumer-level soldering irons aren't hot enough to vaporize lead - the smoke that comes off is the flux burning. I need to look into whether this is Internet "reasoning" or backed by fact.Originally posted by: shortylickens
You can get lead poisoning just by soldering.
If you hang you head right over the smoke you will inhale tons of the stuff eventually.
Well, we dont use rosin core in the Navy (and rarely acid core), and I always got plenty of smoke even when I forgot to use flux.Originally posted by: Flatscan
