1/4 T. Oz Silver Soldering Paste - SS65 Soft

Solder pastes allows for precise application when used in soldering rope chain, hollow shells, findings, earring posts, and other intricate jewelry designs. The convenient 10cc dispensing syringes contain a blend of solder powder, flux, and binder. Exact amount required can be used eliminating waste and improving the appearance of the joint area. Cadmium-free. Flow point: 1450°F. Melting point: 1365°F. Includes two spare applicator tips. Soft (SS65). How to use: 1) Prepare the joint by removing all oil, grease, polishing compound and excessive oxides from the joint area. 2) Joint clearance (gap) should be as small as possible. The joint should be flat, smooth and free of burrs. The two pieces being soldered should touch, as paste solder will not fill large gaps. solder paste 3) Apply paste to the top of joint. (To prevent excess flow of solder from the needle after applying solder to the joint, pull back on the hand plunger to relieve pressure.) 4) Apply heat to article away from the joint, moving the torch from side to side across the joint to avoid overheating the solder. Allow the piece to heat the paste solder. Do not directly heat the paste solder. (This will cause the paste to “slump” and move away from the joint.) As binder “burns off” and the paste dries you will see the flux spread around the solder. Now move the flame in on the joint area continuing to move the torch from side to side. 5) Remove the flame immediately after solder flows. 6) Pickle with Sparex
