Solders & Fluxes

Solders & Fluxes Solders & Fluxes has been specifically developed for engineers, both hobbyists and professional alike

Solders & Fluxes was developed in 2018, to offer our Industrial and Hobbyist Engineering customers a simpler way to purchase soldering products in consumables in more convenient sizes & quantities. As a key specialist supplier, exhibiting at hobbyist exhibitions since 2016, we identified that an easier route to accessing solders & fluxes, in smaller container sizes, was required to align with the

applications of engineers. Since its conception, Solders & Fluxes has grown to incorporate consumable options such as Soldering Irons, Solder Pots and our popular Workshop Wipes, alongside legacy, specialist liquid and paste fluxes. Solders & Fluxes now offers products for a range of applications including Model Engineering, Plumbing, Electronics, Vehicle Restoration and Stained Glass Window Maintenance.

❓ Question of the Month ❓

This usually means the solder isn’t properly wetting the surface.

When this happens, the solder pulls away to the path of least resistance and forms a bead (or “ball”) instead of flowing smoothly into the joint.

Common causes include:
🔹Contamination on the surface (oil, dirt, oxidation)
🔹Using the wrong type of flux for the metal you’re using

Make sure surfaces are clean and you’re using the correct flux to help the solder flow and bond effectively. Good preparation is key to achieving strong, reliable joints.

Cleanliness is everything in soldering! 🫧

Even the best solder and flux won’t perform properly if the surface isn’t clean. Oil, oxidation, or dirt can stop solder from flowing and lead to weak joints.

🧽 Always clean your metal thoroughly before you start - your joints will thank you later!

Silver Brazing Made Easy ✅

For hobby engineers and model makers, Easy-flo™ Flux Powder is a trusted choice for clean, strong brazed joints every time.

Manufactured in the UK by Johnson Matthey, it’s known for excellent flow and protection during silver brazing.

Why it works so well:
💡Fluid at bottom end of range, spreading quickly across the joint to prevent oxidation and improve results.
🌡️ Working range: 550–800°C
✔ Ideal for AG55 & AG40 silver solders

Mix with a little water and washing-up liquid to make a smooth paste for easy application.

TSC Acid Core Solder Wire combines solder & active flux in one convenient package.

This solder wire will remove oxidation from most metals, greatly improving the quality of the solder joint and eliminating the need for separate flux application, saving you time and effort. Available in both leaded and lead-free options, TSC Acid Core is packaged in 50g packs.

This product is not suitable for use on electronic or electrical applications as the flux is very corrosive if left on delicate circuitry.
