Good Idea?

In response to the flood of emails I've received, I wanted to let everyone know that yes, the solder I used for this was lead and cadmium free silver solder, marketed for soldering copper water supply lines. I had to flux it, but cleaned off the flux with alcohol before using, so I think we're safe.

Thanks everyone for being so concerned! :)

	doublellama says: Food grade solder? Sure, at home depot in the plumbing section, for joining copper water pipe. More likely, your cookie cutter was originally spot welded. www.doublellama.net Posted 7 months ago. ( permalink )

	CoolMikeS says: You could use medical grade solder. Stay-Brite is a brand i've used in the past. Its lead free and cadmium free. Check McMaster-Carr for some :D Posted 7 months ago. ( permalink )
