Lead Free Solder

0.5kg of Eastwood Lead-Free Body Solder. For the full kit, please see here.

No need to use lead solder as a body filler when you can use our lead-free version! Lead-Free Body Solder is safer and stronger than potentially harmful lead-based body solders. The Eastwood kit has what you need, including 1 kilo of lead-free solder.

FEATURES: File or sand, by hand or power tool, to level. Spreadable (plastic) range is 220 to 505°C. Tensile strength is 9000 psi. Can be powder coated and cured at 200°C. Includes tools and accessories and a “How-to” DVD Our lead-free solder clings as well as lead-based on horizontal and vertical surfaces. Leveling can easily be done by filing or sanding, by hand or power tools, since no lead particles will be dispersed (still, respiratory protection is highly recommended).

This solder’s spreadable (or “plastic”) range is 220° to 505°C though the best working range is 280° to 350°C. Tensile strength is greater than 9000 psi. The increased strength makes the lead-free more appropriate for building up door and other panel edges, and style lines. Levelling can be done by filing and sanding since no lead particles will be dispersed (Be sure to wear an appropriate dust mask as for any metal grinding operation).

This is one of the few solders that can actually be powder coated and cured at 200°C (with accurate temperature control) without deforming. The fact that the lead free can withstand powder coating temperatures is a big benefit.
