Product used is Harris stay clean liquid solder and Staybrite silver bearing solder.
You can get the small kits at big box stores in the hardware or plumbing section.

Used to solder SS to SS, SS to copper, and even SS to carbon steel in the industrial gas industry. Used 35-65% silver solder and flux. Oxyacetylene small tips. Huge issue was heat control. If too hot, stop and start over from the beginning with fresh cleaning.
I needed to solder a coupling that is 1/2 inch npt to a 5/8 steel tubing for a line I making on my old truck . I never tried to silver solder with just propane . . Watched your video and I remember I think I the flux and solder . I knew I had silver solder for soldering ac lines ect . I had the solder you posted also . So it worked OK. I cleaned both pieces and fluxed . I has to reflux on one side and give it a quick rub with a SS brush . It took the solder then. Thanks for the video
Thanks for the video bud awesome
Nice job
Nice video. Can you use this solder/ flux for larger pieces of steel... I'm making a sculpture & want to tack some joints, of long steel rod/ steel bar/ steel weight bench rectangle tube. I just wonder about the effect of heat sink off the joint from the long metal piece. I understand the stay brite is low melt point, so I was hoping the heat sink issue wouldn't matter as much. I am also thinking of cold connecting the joints 1st, with steel wires or screws, & then soldering over that. I don't want to get into welding at this point. I was considering the stay silv, but would prefer the stay brite if it would work. Also, how do you clean these parts you made after you are done?
Sir is there any all metal liquid flux which could be used with soldering iron and corosion free. Thanks
I have to plug a pin hole in a stainless steel stockpot for cooking. Anyone know solder and flux to use?
What type of Flux and grade of soldering?
Would you compare the use of this flux and solder to be similar to soldering copper pipe? or is there any major differences in the way you use it?
Very similar to soldering copper pipe. Heat is directed to the part with the most mass. Main difference in the process is the flux.
Thank you for such a helpful video. Question, what is the best way to solder together two 1/8" or two 3/16" stainless steel solid rods, non-threaded. Would you use the same flux and same solder you are using?
You would probably want to silver braze solid rods. What sort of connection?
do u sale alot of different types of stainless steel fittings and how about that solder I can't find any good quality of silver solder. All the ones that they were saying on eBay that would solder stainless was lieing I haven't had any luck at all
We do not sell solder and flux but we do sell stainless steel fittings on our site: bargainfittings.com
The flux is the key to the soldering. You can find these kits at home depot or lowes but here is one online weldingsupply.com/cgi-bin/einstein.pl?PNUM::1:UNDEF:X:SBSK
Make a little rotary table
Definitely on my list to do.
Jon A that’s a hell of smart idea. Maybe use a lazy Susan and cover the top with a piece of steel or something. I like your thinking!
Please i need help.....
What about brassing 2 SS pipe of diameter 10mm together. These pipes need to withstand pressure up to 200Bars. Is it possible to use Silver brassing rod?.
Safety-Silv 56% Brazing alloy will do nicely with the appropriate flux. It’s rated for 70,000 psi
@@rdalemd76 what about 40% Sir
how strong is the jointed part? can it be pulled apart? Sorry pretty new to this
It would be very difficult to pull apart. Would need a machine.
@@rdalemd76 Thanks
is he trying to solder wires to the bolt, or whats the plan/project after melting the solder ?
He says in the video that he pre shaped the solder into rings and those are the wires you see on the washers.
How do you clean the piece after silver solder?
Using Bar Keepers Friend and a brush works well. You will need to clean them right after you solder the pieces.
Can I use stay clean with copper pipe
Yes
What do you think this flux made of, is it muriatic acid?
Nice job.
I believe it has Hydrochloric acid in the mix.
It's zinc chloride. Used to be known as 'killed spirits' in the UK. You make it by dissolving metallic zinc in hydrochloric acid until it stops reacting.
@@BargainFittings at which temperature the piece to solder the silver to should be ? should it be put to red cherry ?
Wouldn't it be easier to move the flame?
I like to keep the flame blowing away from me when soldering but yes you can move the flame if you like.
I’m doing a project that I need to solder stainless to stainless. It’s not a perfect fit. There is a little gap. What solder and flux should be used. I tried the silver lead free solder from the hardware store and it doesn’t stick even tho the stainless steel is hot.
You need proper flux to solder stainless to stainless. The stay free liquid flux in the video works well. A very small gap can be bridged but it is best to get the gap as tight as you can.
I had the same issue. Don't let the flux turn black on the surface of whatever you're soldering.
A trick that works for me is to use water, dish soap and a scrubbing pad then dry your surface and apply flux right away. If that doesn't work you can use a dremel and cutting disc to scuff the surface and then apply flux.
As for solder i use alpha fry flo-temp

This is one of those videos where you come to die watching it..!!!
Sorry I'm not a video guy. I hope you survived.
Interesting to see the silver wick in so quickly. Need some gloves though.
