Single unit weight: -- lbs / -- kg
The 14K Gold Plumb Solder Kit provides four distinct gold solders in a single convenient set, giving jewelers the flow-temperature variety needed for multi-step fabrication work. Each solder strip is approximately one-third of a pennyweight (1/3 DWT) and is ready for torch use.
The kit includes 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 full range of joining operations in a typical fabrication sequence — from structural assembly to final detail work.
These are plumb gold solders, meaning each solder matches the karat of the metal it is intended to join. Plumb solders are the correct choice for constructing new jewelry pieces, where karat integrity throughout the piece is required. They differ from repair solders, which are formulated at a lower gold content and are designed to flow at lower temperatures than plumb solders — making repair solders the appropriate choice for work on finished or previously assembled pieces.
Easy, medium, and hard designations describe the relative flow temperatures among the three yellow solders: easy flow melts first, followed by medium flow, then hard flow. This progression allows jewelers to make multiple solder joins in sequence without remelting earlier joins — a fundamental technique in fabricated jewelry construction.
