EASTMAN Sterling Lead Free Solder, Silver, 85325 EASX1, 1 Count (Pack of 1)

this wire is crazy expensive - 10 years ago it was 10.00 now over 30.00 thats nuts

Takes a Lotta heat...but works okay.

Same soldering one I used

This solder is great, you just have to really heat the area up. I use a tinning flux and always have 100% success. I recommend this to all.

What you see is what you get. So do some research to ensure that the product is what you are looking for. Very thick, and not too hard to roll off. Not a lot, like a roll or two.

First time using it today. Used 95/5, Silvabrite 100, Worthington Premier Silver, and Oateys Safe Flo before so yes I was experimenting with solder flows and uses. Used all of these and the Sterling with Oateys 95 flux. The thing that made me want to try Sterling was the low melting point and good reviews. I’m not a plumbing but do my fair share of soldering of 1/2” to 2” for potable water and hydronic systems on occasion so everything stays lead free. The low melt point is a blessing and a curse when you’re doing anything above an inch. The heat pulls the solder around the pipe too much and if you dare heat the pipe for too long then gravity acts upon the liquid solder and it will drip to the ground instead of capillary action pulling it into the joint. Used it on copper pipes, brass unions, and 2” bronze valves. Never had a huge problem with other solders except this one when it came to larger pipe. Could by my technique but just be aware that sterling melts very fast so heat the pipe evenly and move the solder quickly around the joint.

This solder is perfect for many uses around the home. I used it to install my water conditioner, to repair a leaking pipe under the sink, and I use it in reloading. The price and quality was outstanding.

Maybe I am a moron, but this led me to believe that its silver solder. I run a lot of businesses and was in a hurry, so perhaps it was my fault for not reading the fine print. But this is NOT silver solder.

Great Stuff!

Awesome product
