EASTMAN Sterling Lead Free Solder, Silver, 85325 EASX1, 1 Count (Pack of 1)

This works well for soft soldering, like in the (wonderful) book, Soldered Alchemy. Its nice and thick, which is good for that process, and flows well. Once I get more experienced at soft soldering I might try different lead-free solders, but Id hate to try something else and be disappointed, so for now Ill continue using this. If anyone reading this has had success making soft-soldered jewelry with a different solder, maybe one that contains some silver, let me know!

Awesome product

Its lead free soft solder, im sure its great for copper pipes and what not but definitely not good for jewelry. It looks fine but it leave a TERRIBLE smell on the jewelry that DOES NOT go away. No matter how much you clean, polish, or seal the jewelry. The only way I can describe the smell is that same stale smell/taste you get from the air in your lungs when you get a really bad chest cold and its the smell of pure sickness. But like I said its probably fine with pipe work and other things where you dont have to worry about the smell. But dont use it for soft solder jewelry.

good product

Maybe I am a moron, but this led me to believe that its silver solder. I run a lot of businesses and was in a hurry, so perhaps it was my fault for not reading the fine print. But this is NOT silver solder.

First time using it today. Used 95/5, Silvabrite 100, Worthington Premier Silver, and Oateys Safe Flo before so yes I was experimenting with solder flows and uses. Used all of these and the Sterling with Oateys 95 flux. The thing that made me want to try Sterling was the low melting point and good reviews. I’m not a plumbing but do my fair share of soldering of 1/2” to 2” for potable water and hydronic systems on occasion so everything stays lead free. The low melt point is a blessing and a curse when you’re doing anything above an inch. The heat pulls the solder around the pipe too much and if you dare heat the pipe for too long then gravity acts upon the liquid solder and it will drip to the ground instead of capillary action pulling it into the joint. Used it on copper pipes, brass unions, and 2” bronze valves. Never had a huge problem with other solders except this one when it came to larger pipe. Could by my technique but just be aware that sterling melts very fast so heat the pipe evenly and move the solder quickly around the joint.

Great Stuff!

Used this to repair Sterling Silver jewelry Ive had for years. Home repair much cheaper than a jewelry shop!! Easy to use for a novice like me at home jewelry repairs

very good

excellent product
