Hello all, The situation: We recently had 2 brand new solder wave installed, one after the other. On the first one, the "protective coating" on the solder pot started to flake off 1 day after start-up. The tech who did the installation witnessed it a

I was informed by a UK solder distributer that you can buy a "paint" and carry out the process yourself quite easily. I Also have spoken to Solbraze a Uk manufacturer of solder baths that can help.

I have a 5lb roll of .125" flux core 63/37 solder that I want to melt into a solid slug. Can this be done without making a huge mess and lighting something on fire ?
