FAQs
What is the purity of this flux powder?
The Generise Soldering Flux is crafted with 99.9% pure flux powder.
What types of metals can I use this flux with?
This flux is suitable for all precious metals, including gold, silver, platinum, as well as brass and copper.
How does this flux prevent oxidation?
The flux creates a protective barrier on the metal surface during heating, preventing oxygen from reacting with the metal and causing oxidation.
Is this flux suitable for beginners?
While formulated for professionals, its easy-to-use crystal form can be managed by beginners with care. Practice on scrap material is recommended.
How should I store the flux?
Store the flux in its original, tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight.
What is the form of the flux?
The flux is in crystal form, allowing for straightforward application.
Troubleshooting
Solder not flowing properly
Ensure the metal surfaces are thoroughly cleaned. Reapply flux and ensure adequate heat is applied during soldering.
Joint appears oxidized after soldering
Verify that enough flux was applied to cover the entire joint area. Ensure the flux was active during the entire heating process.
Flux seems to be clumping
Store the flux in a dry environment. Moisture can cause clumping. Ensure the container is sealed when not in use.
