Greetings,

        Does anyone have any experience with mixing different manufacturers
     equivalent bar solder in their solder pots?  (We are currently using
     Alpha's 63/37 bar solder)  Also, what is the experience with the
     so-called superpure solder?  Does is really reduce dross?  Is the
     extra cost worth it?  I receive frequent calls from distributors and
     manufacturers touting how their solder can do practically everything
     except "leap tall buidings in a single bound."

        I would like to give purchasing the option of buying from more than
     one supplier as an effort to reduce cost but I do not want any hidden
     problems.

     Thank you.

     -David Bruni
