    Q:Can this solder be melted with a standard home propane torch?

    Answer This Question

    A:  Yes a 200 watt soldering iron and a heat gun also work

    by|Dec 21, 2019

      A:  Yes. A regular soldering will do also.

      by|Dec 21, 2019

        A:  With a theoretical maximum of 3,623 °F (1,995 °C) for the flame of a standard air-fed propane torch, the solder itself can easily be melted with a propane torch, but more important is the ability to heat the pieces being soldered to the 400°F to 700°F (204°C to 371°C) temperature listed in the specification. This is the temperature where the solder can flow into the joint, and the flux can do it's job. If your work is too big, then a small torch won't be able to heat up the joint to the required temperature (due to thermal losses into the workpiece), so as long as your work is small enough you'll be fine.

            No problem with the product, just disgusted with companies trying to influence political matters. I've built two homes and a business facility with Home Depot products over 20 years, but I will not spend another penny in your stores again. Retailers are there to sell products, not use their financial might to affect politics, especially a matter in which you are completely uninformed.

            I wanted to attach a tailgate cover over my tailgate. It went on OK but it did not hold the sheet metal . IT is not strong enough. It broke loose when I did the other side. I used pop rivits instead of the silver solder and it is holding OK.
