can I use it for silver soldering

I use my for home pluming jobs. I'm not sure if it works with silver soldering.

The flame is swirling and too bushy for most silver work. I use it for enameling.

Not really, I use this touch for starting wood stove fires. I think that the torch head would beto large for fine work.

Sorry I have never used it that way, however just a little heat and you will be just fine. You will notice the solder paste turns from a grayish color to silver once heat is applied. This is meant for surface mount devices which are hard to solder with and iron. Hope this helps a little. Try a hair dryer if you don't have a regular heat gun.

I believe the comment about using "silver solder" may be miss leading. It probably means silver "looking" solder. Silver solder is made of silver and is not normally used for electronics wiring. It is not necessary to use solder that is a smaller diameter than the wire as many wires in electronics are very small diameter. Large diameter solder such as 1/8th inch is normally intended for plumbing. Any small diameter solder is suitable for electronics.

I used it to make a leather cutter blade repair and had to file it to fit. It was harder than a lead/tin solder but I'm not sure it would have the wear qualities you require. It may be worth a try considering the price of the product.

I assume you are asking about copper or copper plated wire. You can do that with a regular soldering iron but the Lee melter at a pretty high temperature would work better. have at least 15% tin in the mix of lead or use pure tin.

I'm sure you could..but you'd be heating a very large area..I would use a solder gun to melt old solder..which is typically 700 to 750 degrees..

Good morning, Mark. Like any lead-free solder it will join 2 pieces of metal like aluminum. However, it will depend on the usage and the weight of the pieces to be joined.

Gotcha. I wonder if you might have better luck getting a metal smith to fill it in with silver solder... Just a thought.

I haven't used it for soldering anything but Cu wire, but I know that his solder is not made for your purpose. Any solder joint, other than pure lead, made with acid flux will corrode with time. Therefore, I wouldn't advise it. Look into materials for brazing metals, which generally requires hotter temperatures than common solders and also requires a torch, I believe.

This has a variable temperature control. It would good for soldering printed circuit boards.

maybe but don't get it too hot just barely enough to melt the solder if you scorch the ss you will have to sand it back to new metal

Maybe, this smelting pot is meant for lead and pewter, which melts around 600-750 degrees Fahrenheit. Silver melts at roughly 1,700 degrees. Because this smelter doesn't specify how hot it gets and since I haven't maxed it out to find out I don't know. But probably not.

Highly doubt it, you'd need to be able to heat both pieces to melting point of solder. This tool will likely melt itself first and still not have enough power to do what you want.You may be better off with a propane torch like the kind used for plumbing.

Not sure. I am a metalsmith (mostly silver) but have used it on copper components of the jewelry.

I would say yes, as long as you sand of the metal, if paint is on it, to ensure the soldering is applied. Be careful as the soldering tip is extremely hot

Yes although I would opt for the serial interface version.i had to add that on, and it's not bad practice for soldering but you can get it presoldered for less than buying the serial interface and display together. Serial interface will allow fewer pins used and easier addressing in the code.

I wouldn't...too much heat needed to make the solder flow,your flux will burn before the solder flows and youll melt surrounding material and the solder will just run off.
