Harris SSBF1 Stay Silv Brazing Flux, 1 lb. Jar, Black

You have got to try this silver brazing flux. You may have never heard about this flux before, but I can honestly say it works wonderfully. It doesn't dry out quickly like other fluxes but if it does all you have to do is add a little water. If really protects against oxidation and it is such a quality product for the money and works on all metals.

I read about StaySilv and that it was supposed to be a superior flux. I finally bought it and can attest that it's awesome flux for soldering sterling silver! It doesn't take much and the solder flows fast, easy, and clean. Be aware that it is a very dark brown color and there's a bit of an adjustment because it can be difficult to see through it, but once you get used to it it's easy to see the stages as it heats up and when the solder will flow. It's a creamy sort of texture vs. the somewhat crystallized texture of HandiFlux and doesn't dry out like HandiFlux. I'm so glad I made the change!

Stay-silv works great for high-temp brazing ... and the black version even more so if there's excess or prolonged heat (within reason). A totally reliable brand.

I had to silver solder teeth onto a stump grinder. This flux made it very easy and they adhered perfectly!!

Didn’t know how to do itIt’s globby and not liquid

Works great with silver brazing wire (about 50% silver). Just heat the surface with a propylene/propane torch until it is glowing dull orange and the flux goes from brown to clear, then melt in the brazing wire. It flows beautifully. Very little oxide scale afterward. Cleanup can be done with a wire brush or similar.

New as expected thanks for the great service
