14K Gold Plumb Solder Kit

Cover a full fabrication sequence at the bench with one set of torch solders. This 14K gold plumb solder kit supplies four distinct gold solders, giving jewelers the flow temperature variety needed for multi-step work. Each solder strip is approximately one third of a pennyweight (1/3 DWT) and is ready for torch use.

The kit holds one piece each of 14K Yellow Gold Easy Flow, 14K Yellow Gold Medium Flow, 14K Yellow Gold Hard Flow, and 14K White Gold Easy Flow. Together these four solders cover the range of joining operations in a typical fabrication sequence, from structural assembly through final detail work.

These are plumb gold solders, meaning each solder matches the karat of the metal it is meant to join. Plumb solders are the correct choice for constructing new jewelry, where karat integrity throughout the piece is required. They differ from repair solders, which carry a lower gold content and flow at lower temperatures, making repair solders the right choice for work on finished or previously assembled pieces.

Easy, medium, and hard describe the relative flow temperatures among the three yellow solders: easy flow melts first, then medium flow, then hard flow. That progression lets a jeweler make several joins in sequence without remelting earlier ones, a fundamental technique in fabricated construction.

Features

• Four solder types in one set: 14K yellow easy, 14K yellow medium, 14K yellow hard, and 14K white easy flow
• Each piece weighs approximately 1/3 DWT
• Plumb gold solders matched to 14K for manufacturing integrity
• Hard solders formulated for torch application
• Graduated flow temperatures allow sequential joining without disturbing earlier joins
• Suited to new jewelry fabrication and construction

Notes

What you get:

• 1 piece, 14K Yellow Gold Easy Flow solder, approximately 1/3 DWT
• 1 piece, 14K Yellow Gold Medium Flow solder, approximately 1/3 DWT
• 1 piece, 14K Yellow Gold Hard Flow solder, approximately 1/3 DWT
• 1 piece, 14K White Gold Easy Flow solder, approximately 1/3 DWT

• Plumb gold solders are intended for constructing new pieces rather than repair work.
• For repair work on existing jewelry, use repair grade gold solders, which carry a lower gold content and flow at lower temperatures than plumb solders.
• Easy flow melts before medium flow, and medium flow melts before hard flow, so plan the join sequence accordingly.
