And a little more question :
Should we rather have a tin ratio of 99.3% and 0.7 copper or 97% tin and 3% copper ?
And is copper suitable ?
THANKS

Thank you for your answers, but can we do without flux paste if I only solder with tin ?
Because I read on the internet that the tin is already enriched with a little flux paste...
And is this flux paste toxic ?
 
THANKS

You should be using a flux paste.  The main brand here in the UK is 'Fluxite'  The resin core in electronic solder does no harm, but when you are soldering steel it won't be good enough on its' own.

What is this paste used for ?  And is it essential ?
And wouldn't tin for small solders be enough ?
