You cant solder white metal, nor weld White metal. White metal's melting tempeture is very low. The only way to really weld White metals is by fusing. I wouldnt say its impossible to weld white/pot metals but it is very challenging. Very few weld sticks want to stick to pot metals since they are a mixture of alloys, hence the name pot metal. Every thing is melted in a pot. Basically its recycled metal, mostly tins, which makes it very hard to weld.

Sorry for getting off topic, but I like to voice myself.

Its not so bad when youre mixing it, but when you are cutting it with a cutting wheel, heating it, or burning it.
