This is a suspension of 188 solder powder in an active flux compound. In industry, it is used for tinning steel. To use, clean both surfaces and apply a thin smear of paint to one side or else they can be dipped. The joint is then assembled, held and heated until the solder melts to show a silvery line through the black flux residues. Hottape and Solder Mask are particularly useful with solder paints and creams. When you open the jar, there will be a clear liquid on top of the solder. This is the flux. Be assured, we have not watered it down! Solder powder is obviously much heavier than the liquid flux, so before using, be sure to give it a good stir. It is also a good tip cleaner.

This is a Tin/Lead/Silver solder. Solders containing silver have brilliant creep and flow �characteristics, making them ideal for laminating. Perfect for all electronic circuitry, they are also suitable for aluminium and zinc rich alloys - Mazak, etc. When used with Grey Label Flux. NB. As aluminium absorbs a lot of heat, use a higher wattage iron than for brass. Soldered aluminium is highly susceptible to corrosion; therefore it is important to seal all joints from the atmosphere within an hour or so of making them. Electrofix is ideal for this purpose.

145� C solders are normally used for detailing. These enable you to add the small parts to an otherwise completed structure with a reduced risk of melting the main joints and other details. Its lower melting temperature also means that less heat is required, and quicker jointing is achieved, or a smaller iron may be used. It should be used with the appropriate fluxes for the metals being joined. It should be noted that C1002 contains Cadmium and care should be taken over its use.

This is ideal for soldering sheet metal and close fitting joints. The short melting range minimizes the heat required and thus the risk of distortion. Low surface tension means that only a small fillet is left along a joint, it also flows more readily than less pure common solders.

This is a general-purpose solder, which has a particular use in electronics applications. It combines the superior qualities of No. 188 with a high temperature resin core, in a convenient wire form. The single core promotes faster melting and better spreading, and since the resin does not burn quickly, it does not clog the joint with carbon deposits which would inhibit solder flow. When using cored solder, if the iron stops smoking then all the flux has been consumed and if soldering gets difficult, add a drop of�green Flux.

This is a Tin/Silver Alloy. This is a big improvement over normal Tin/Copper lead free solder. There is no doubt that the addition of Silver does aid wetting and flow qualities and it is certain that this will be the standard lead free solders for modellers.

An alternative to normal 70 Degree Solder. This is a Tin/Lead/Bismuth mix which has a melting temperature of 100 Deg C. over which it has three advantages. It can be used to solder Whitemetal directly to Brass without tinning the latter. It 'creeps' into joints better than 70 Degree. 70 Degree Solder comes in a half round 'blowpipe' form and can be a bit chunky and hence difficult to get into small areas, (which is why most folk carry the solder to the work on the end of the soldering iron bit. This material comes as a thin rod, about the diameter of a needle file handle.

This is an organic flux compound, which is very active at low temperature. It is ideal for use with whitemetal, and is also suitable for other nonferrous metals. It breaks down at around 240C to leave non-corrosive residues. However, this should not be assumed and the joint should be rinsed or wiped with warm water.

This is a powerful general-purpose flux for steel and galvanised metals. The residues should neutralised with Neutralising Rinse and then washed off with warm water. This flux is an equivalent to Bakers Fluid for steel.

This is an alkaline solution, highly effective in use as a degreasing liquid. This has been introduced to overcome the problem of corrosion, which results from traces of flux residue not having been fully washed away. This mildly alkaline rinse should kill off any acidic traces left after rinsing and will leave a surface ready for painting, or other finishing treatment.
