Default What happened to the WS Deans racing solder?

I don't know about you guys, but I have always used WS Deans racing solder for all of my electrical connections, including battery pack building, but lately I cannot seem to locate a source for their solder. It's been out of stock for a year or more now. I wonder what the deal is? Is it because the solder contains lead and everyone is going to lead free solder these days? I couldn't believe the difference between the Deans solder and these new fangled lead free solders. The Deans solder is so much easier to work with and get great joints. I absolutely hate these lead free silver solders. I've gone back to regular 60/40 rosin core solder for everything these days, but I really want to find some WS Deans Racing solder again.

Thoughts?
