    yes, IT solder has alloy (copper) in it.  Depending on what you are
    soldering and where you are soldering.  If you are doing findings
    then it isn't any big deal,  if you are soldering fixtures on the
    front of the piece you intend t o enamel then it can be a big deal. 
    If you are using opaque enamels: no big deal, if you are using
    transparent enamels, yes big deal. the copper in the alloy turns
    black when put into the kiln.
