I haven't been able to find 100% Tin solder to make Stannous Chloride.
I have found 95/5 Tin/Antimony.
Can I use this or does it have to be 100% Tin?

Thank you Shark95/5 will work just fine.
Sweet! Good to know. I was wondering where that would go.The Antimony will settle to the bottom and cause no issues....or you can filter it out.
Even Pewter works fine.I haven't been able to find 100% Tin solder to make Stannous Chloride.

Would be best if you knew the exact makeup of the pewter though I assume?Even Pewter works fine.
Getting started it may be more important that the stannous chloride works. Later, making it consistently can help determine, to a slight degree, how much gold is in the solution. For this the use of standard gold solutions and consistently made stannous could be more important. The way I work most often, knowing the gold is there or not is more important than knowing about how much is there.Would be best if you knew the exact makeup of the pewter though I assume?
Not important for the functional test as long as there is ample Tin.Would be best if you knew the exact makeup of the pewter though I assume?
Welcome to us.Hello everyone in this forum specially the moderators. I have the same question about stannous chloride but not from solders from the store but from the boards. They say that newer PCB's now uses mostly tin in the solders so the question is can I melt those and use it to make tin chloride. I hope this forum can guide me through this.
Actually I came across this forum in my research on recovery and refining of PM's from e-waste before starting any experiments.
