G&S Metals Tips for Paste Soldering
A. Remove tip cap from syringe and press the desired needle onto the tip of the syringe. Save the tip cap.
B. If you desire to store the solder paste for periods of time (when you will not be actively 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.
C. Keep needles clean. If needle clogs, clean with a fine wire. Needles can be cleaned in an ultrasonic cleaner.
Solder paste is a homogeneous blend of microfine spherical solder powder, flux and binder. Past solder works best on small applications, such as jump rings, chain manufacture and repairs, etc.
1. Remove all dirt, excessive oxides, etc. from the joint area.
2. Joint clearance (gap) should be as small as possible. Joint should be flat and smooth for soldering.
3. Apply the soldering paste to the joint. To prevent a continuous flow of solder from the needle after applying solder to the joint, pull back on the hand syringe to relieve pressure.
4. Apply heat to article away from the joint. Keep heat/flame away from needle. As binder “burns off”, move the flame to joint area.
5. Remove flame immediately after solder melts and flows.
6. Pickle or strip article as usual.
