Silver Solder Sheet Kit

The Silver Solder Sheet Kit from Harmony is a practical starter and reference set for jewelers and metalsmiths working with silver. The kit contains one small sheet each of three cadmium-free silver solders spanning a range of flow points, giving you the flexibility to tackle new fabrication work and repairs with the appropriate solder grade.

Features

• Includes three cadmium-free silver solder sheets covering soft, medium, and medium-hard flow points
• Total weight of approximately 15 pennyweights across all three sheets
• Sheet format for easy cutting and portioning at the bench
• Cadmium-free formulation for safer studio use
• Spans a practical temperature range from 1260°F to 1375°F flow point

Specifications

What's Included

• 804-405 – Soft, Flow Point 1260°F
• 804-406 – Medium, Flow Point 1295°F
• 804-407 – Medium-Hard, Flow Point 1375°F

Notes

Silver solder grades — Extra Soft, Soft, Medium, Medium-Hard, and Hard — describe the relative temperature flow points within a solder line. Extra Soft (also called Extra Easy) flows at the lowest temperature, with each successive grade flowing at a progressively higher temperature. Generally, a higher flow point corresponds to a higher silver content, which improves color match to silver and can contribute to a stronger bond.

Keep in mind that flow point temperatures vary between manufacturers. One maker's Medium may flow at the same temperature as another maker's Hard, so always verify flow points when mixing solder brands.

For fabrication: Use the highest-temperature (hardest) solder available so that subsequent repairs can be made with lower-temperature solders without disturbing existing seams. For repairs: Use the lowest-temperature (softest) solder appropriate for the job, since the solder grade used previously is often unknown.
