Use flux when soldering to prevent oxides and firescale. Paint this onto the joint you are about to solder, and it keeps your piece clean whilst being heated, allowing your solder to flow easily and saving you time in the cleaning stages!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Blue Flux acts as a cleaning and flowing agent. It dissolves oxide residues and inhibits further from forming. If you have a layer of oxide on your metal, the solder will stick to the oxide layer, creating a weak joint, which will likely come apart later. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eINGREDIENTS\u003c\/strong\u003e: Potassium compounds, Boric acid, Water, and others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBOILING TEMPERATURE\u003c\/strong\u003e: 600-800 Deg.C.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhy do I use flux when soldering?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlux prevents oxides and firescale from forming - which can be a pain to remove\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt removes dirt and grease from the metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt helps your solder to flow easier, getting to where you want it\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStopping oxides means your solder will bond the metal, giving you a solid joint, rather than bonding with the oxide which can come apart later.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs used by Etsuko Nakayama at You Can Make It 2020 in her Filigree class!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Art Clay","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58321514365263,"sku":"102-F-0482","price":15.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1019\/2591\/2911\/files\/art-clay-soldering-flux-blue-flux-50g-f-0482__05904.1590922945.800.800.jpg?v=1785150128","url":"https:\/\/www.metalclay.co.uk\/products\/blue-flux-for-soldering-liquid-flux","provider":"Metal Clay","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
