How do I use brazing paste?
- Protect the surface on which you're going to work (table or workbench) with firebrick or cellular concrete (siporex); it's light and a good insulator.
- Place the support on which you'll be soldering (charcoal, vermiculite slab, etc.) on top of your insulation, and we recommend honeycomb ceramic brick.
This ceramic brick, with its many holes, allows the heat from the flame to flow around the parts to be assembled, and to ensure that the braze flows evenly.
If necessary, you can hold the parts to be joined with the soldering pliers.
These pliers are insulated and will prevent burns when handling the parts.
The parts to be assembled must be clean and tight-fitting, as solder will not fill holes or gaps where metal is missing. - Protect yourself with a cotton smock and, if possible, a mask.
If you don't have an extractor hood where you weld, carry out your welding work in a well-ventilated room. - Avoid breathing steam fumes as you begin to apply the flashlight to the clay.
- Apply the clay in such a way that it is in contact with the two parts to be joined, and use the flashlight to raise the temperature gradually and evenly in a circular motion.
- The clay will first swell and then liquefy, at which point the flux will evaporate (be careful not to breathe in the fumes!!) until it becomes shiny and silver-colored. Remove the flame and your parts will be soldered.
- Bear in mind that the solder will go where there's the most heat, so at the end of the operation you'll be able to drive it with the flashlight wherever you want, you'll understand and master this with practice.
- Finishing: Dip your part in a solution of pickling acid (with hot water to be more effective) to pickle it (leave it to soak until theoxidation disappears ).until the oxidation disappears)
To dip and retrieve your part in the solder, we recommend using copper tongs. - Finally, emerge and polish your jewel to give it a shiny appearance.
