Silver Solder Paste

Save time on production soldering with this cadmium-free silver paste solder, ideal for light-duty, delicate jobs. It combines solder with a flux/binder, ensuring that you don’t under or overflux and eliminating the need to heat the join twice. 

Includes two applicator tips to ensure precision control when applying to your piece, to minimize waste.

• 1/4 ozt of paste per syringe 
  • 5 dwt
• 1 applicator tip
• Available in
  • Extra Easy
  • Easy
  • Medium
  • Hard
• Made in USA
• Cadmium Free

Bench Basics Nano Silver Solder Paste is a homogeneous blend of micro fine spherical solder powder, flux and binder available in Extra Easy, Easy, Medium, and Hard. The unique properties of paste solder make it perfect for use on, jump rings, in chain manufacture, on hollow items, attaching clasps and earring posts, repair work, and more.

1. Remove the tip cap. Press and twist the needle onto the syringe. Save the tip cap.  When not using syringe on the bench for several days remove the needle and replace the tip cap on syringe. Store syringe in a cool place. Save the needle for further use. Store the needle with the syringe to prevent cross contamination with other paste solders. Keep the needle clean. If the needle clogs it can be unclogged with a fine wire, or cleaned in an ultrasonic cleaner.

2. Prepare the area by removing all oil, grease, polishing compound and excessive oxides from the joint.

3. Keep the joint 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.

4. 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.

5. 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 gently move the flame in on the joint area continuing to move the torch from side to side.

6. Remove the flame immediately after solder flows.

7. Pickle to remove fire scale and finish the article as usual.
