So this would be conidered 1100 degree silver solder, correct? The ATF requires this for gun building.

if it requires 1100 degree solder this is not that high of a melting point it is usually 450-750 degrees as it has a small amount of tin in it. hope this will help...

I'm betting that warning is given to cover the wacko laws of the State of California. I've taken my unit apart and have seen no lead solder or any other source of lead. It could be that some odd part might have a lead ratio of one lead atom to a trillion of some other metal. Masterbuilt is a reputable company. I seriously doubt if they are going to put any product on the market with a measurable lead content. They are big on customer service and satisfaction. Buy the unit and enjoy it!

I'm not sure, but I did glue two metal together. This is highly flammable be careful.

Hot enough to melt the solder but not the came. Try it on a test piece of came...if the came melts, the iron is too hot.

I have mine set on 460 degrees. I have found that heating up (tempering) the lead came first, before using the solder works best. Just don't touch the came it becomes VERY HOT. Hopes this helps.

Unpredictably yes, it's a target grade metal for BB's & Pellets at the right price. All air guns made different & all targets have reaction to physics. I've had no problems with.

I've had issue with it getting hot enough. I just got some other tips to try to see if they will work better. I know a soldering gun does get hotter.

not sure I use it to melt lead for bullet making lead melt around 350 degrees or less enamel materials will take about 6 00 to 800 degrees for the cost can't hurt to try

It looks like one but it's not. It's a clone. If you savvy with solder and not afraid to disassemble it then you should do it, clean it up, check hit conducting compound and reapply if necessary, re-solder whatever is bad soldered, then it's going to work OK. If you don't do it then it's 50/50.

Yes, but this is overkill, possibly too hot. Just buy a regular soldering iron. You can find them for 10 bucks or so all day long!

I'd say that a soldering gun is too heavy a soldering tool for that type of repair. I'd op-ed for either a good quality soldering station or a portable iron like the Iso-Tip. I used this one for small parts soldering as will as SMT. You can buy a verity of tips to suit your needs. Hopes this helps.

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.

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

Jake thank you for your inquiry, the RapidFire can reach 2000 degrees and melt copper no problem however I do recommend looking at our Quikmelt furnace for your needs as those are specifically designed to melt metal. The Quikmelt includes a crucible and tongs which you will need anyhow and it is also capable of 2200 degree maximum temperatures. If you have further questions please feel free to ask, thank you!

You are correct. It is 25 degrees......... A great gun 20k+ 21/2" nails without a problem

I use this silver solder with a electric soldering iron, works real good as long as your irons heat range will melt it. Ron

I've never tried, but probably not. For a dual-purpose gun that is used for electrical work as well as structural soldering, that would not be a particularly strong selling point. You are probably looking for welding or brazing tools, not soldering guns, if you want to actually melt wiring.
