As for “high lead solder” - you won’t buy it in Europe. We had to learn using lead free for rework and you know what - it’s not much different, assuming you have high quality equipment.

That's bollocks. You can buy leaded solder in Europe just fine. You only need to worry about lead-free if you want to sell a commercial product.

You can’t in Poland if you don’t own a resistered business. I tried and nope, they won’t sell it to individuals.

But thanks for letting me know, maybe it was just a local problem of the particular store, but a EU policy.
