    Well all I can tell you Bruce, is that I was sent the mysterious
    plumb sterling solder by an American friend and was assured that it
    was cadmium free and still 92.5% silver. 

    Our own Mr Donnivan uses plumb solder exclusively so it definitely
    exists and I've used it too. I'm beginning to wish I'd never asked
    this question as most American jewellers and all English jewellers
    seem never to have heard of it and I feel as though people think I'm
    going mad and am a bit confused!!! 

    It exists, I've used it, I liked it and I may well buy some more. 

Thanks again.
