About product

Soldering flux, 20 ml

A flux for soldering, supplied in a bottle with a volume of twenty milliliters. Flux is what decides the outcome of soldering: it removes a thin layer of oxides from the surface of the metal and lowers the surface tension, so that the solder flows along the joint instead of sitting on it in a bead. Without it, photo-etch often simply will not solder, even when the temperature is right.

Use

  • Soldering photo-etched parts where the joint is to be stronger than a glued one.
  • Joining brass and metal accessories such as railings and frames.
  • Work where super glue would in time let go or go white.
  • Assemblies that are sanded and shaped further after soldering.

Work tips

Apply the flux only at the joint, in the smallest possible amount, ideally with a stick or a thin brush. After soldering, always rinse the remaining flux off with water and dry the part, or the surface may corrode in time and paint will not hold on it. Work on a non-flammable surface and with a well-heated iron, because long heating distorts a part more than a brief touch. Close the bottle carefully after use.

Who it is for

  • Modelers who solder photo-etched parts instead of gluing them.
  • Builders of ship models with extensive photo-etched assemblies.
  • Anyone who is not getting a soldered joint to work.

It pays to practice soldering on offcuts of photo-etch before you touch the real part.

The flux can irritate the skin and eyes. Work in a well-ventilated space, do not breathe in the fumes and keep it out of the reach of children.

Yes, rinse the residue off with water and dry the part, or the surface may corrode and paint will not hold on it.

A soldered joint is stronger, does not let go in time and stands up to further sanding and shaping.

Only at the joint and in the smallest possible amount, ideally with a stick or a thin brush.
