...50/50 solder (which you can’t get)

Nonsense. The national building code does not allow 50/50 solder in potable water system, but it is still used widely in stained glass, electronics work and other applications. It's available in all wire sizes, bars, flux cored wire, and solid core wire.

I have a lot of rolls of the old 50/50 that I had in stock when California made the transition, I think the 95/5 is just fine but I use a TurboTorch acetylene torch.
