Home Depot, Lowes, local hardware store, most any place will have lead free.

ya was thinking i might need like 5 -10 pounds to do what i want to do awfully pricy the depot in 1/2 lb. rolls can get 25 pound for 300 dollars from a radiator shop that my friend owns but i don't really need that much it is much cheaper by the lb then home depot.

Wow, that's alot of solder ! What are you using it for ? Even for all the pan's I would think you would not use much.... a little goes a long way.

When I built my copper drop tube flue pan I think I used 4 of the large spools of silver solder. Check around before going to Home Depot. Menards had it for about $8 less per spool.
