Great for Brass and Stainless Soldering
This works well for silver soldering brass to brass, stainless to brass, and stainless to stainless. There's a bit of a learning curve, but when you get the temperature high enough, the Flux pulls the solder into the joint and creates a strong bond.Silver solder requires more heat, which could burn off regular solder, but this stuff stays in place.Notes:- I learned from an online video that if you melt solder and let it pool around a joint, it will flow into the space with flux applied as the temperature increases to the sweet spot.- Only put flux where you need it, as the solder will be drawn to it.- The parts must be cleaned well.- Take your time bringing it up to temperature. If you blast it, carbon deposits can accumulate and interfere with bonding.- I tried this with Mapp gas and propane; most joints easily get hot enough with propane.- The flux leaves a crusty residue that can be removed after it cools. I use a wire brush.Overall a great product!

Stay silv is an excellent product.
I was surprised that this is such a small container. Not as large as what I used before.

Great flux. Just be sure to use with the right solder.
This is the only flux I use for silver soldering. Before using this, I could never get the solder to stick. I had tried several other fluxes thinking flux is flux. Clearly I was wrong. You have to use the proper flux for the type of solder and the type of metals you are working with. This is made for high sterling silver content solder, and for that purpose it works great. Always be sure to read the label on your silver and your flux to be sure you’ve got compatible products. Other than that if you start with really clean metal, apply a generous coat of flux, and use the right solder, the rest is just practice to know when you have the part hot enough without overheating. Not enough heat the solder won’t melt. Too much and it will run off without “sticking” to the joint. This flux made all the difference for me. Went from never being able to get the solder to flow into the joint and stick, to having success 99% of the time.
