Is probably the most versatile of our solder pastes. It will solder most ferrous and non-ferrous metals including copper, brass, bronze nickel, platinum, (some) chrome, monel, galvanized, (some)stainless, gold, silver, coated steel, cast iron, black steel, steel. Silver Solder-It is extremely conductive because of its silver content. It produces extremely strong joints (5 to 10 times the strength of 60/40 solder) because it contains NO LEAD. Because of its low flow temperature, you can solder small jobs with the heat from a match or lighter. It is particularly useful for electrical connections, board work, connectors of all types (especially PL259s & "N" Connectors), miniature connectors, battery pack connections. For Model Railroaders, it solders rails without melting the plastic ties and is great for detailing because you can make multiple contiguous joints without disturbing the previously soldered joint... Yup, the first doohickey won't fall off as you are soldering the second one right next to it!
Non-toxic, easy flowing, weighing system for model railway, model planes and boats. Pour into small cavities and set with Roket Card Glue, or Speed Epoxy. 240g bottle.
Formulated for heavy duty soldering of heavy metal parts. 5 times stronger than ordinary solder, 10k to 25k tensile strength. Better choice than lead based solders for custom landing gear construction. Flows smoothly at 430 degrees. Works with any open flame torch such at propate and butane. Contains no lead, cadnium or antimony Stress and vibrations resistant. Contents 14.7g.
"Weld" many plastic parts. Designed for automotive uses but many uses in RC too. Heat activated, one part epoxy. No mixing, no measuring. Comes in syringe applicator.
I've sent people to purchase this brand solder for years, now we have it in stock. OD .062" (1.57mm), Net Wt. 1lb. 60% tin, 40% lead. If you want to be sure you'll have real solder (not the junk lead free enviromental wacko crap) that flows and produces nice bright joints, get a whole pound now. It's continuing to get more difficult and expensive to obtain.
Before sending me an email about the dangers of lead poisoning and children, be sure to include pointers to a few cases of children being poisoned by eating circuits and wires. Heck, I'll even accept one case if you can find it. I reject the emotional ploy of potentional lead poisoning in children from eating circuits and wires. It's non-sense and junk-science.

Braided solder wick is a popular tab material for building battery packs. It has the advantages of taking solder well and also being flexible. So, no loads from heating (expanding) or cooling (contracting) cells are put into the tabs and solder joints. As a solder wick, this material easily soaks up molten solder from PC boards allowing removal of components. 2mm wide, 5 feet long.
Clean, reliable solder joints matter on battery leads, connectors, and motor wires, and this category brings together the solder and support products that help make them. Whether you are tinning a fresh connector or refreshing an aging joint, the items here cover the basics of the soldering bench.
Solder and Flux
Silver bearing solder is a common pick for RC electrical work, while Dr. Marty's No Clean acid-free soldering flux, offered in 1oz, 2oz, and 4CC sizes, helps solder flow and wet the joint without leaving residue that needs cleaning.
Tip Care and Extras
A hot iron works best with a clean, tinned tip, and Dr. Marty's Tip Cleaner and Tinner restores a neglected tip so it transfers heat again. Non-oxidizing conductive grease is also stocked for protecting contacts and connections, wiping onto a plug or terminal to slow corrosion where two metals meet.
