Lead Free Body Solder Kit

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. The Eastwood 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.
