Pot Metal / Aluminum Solder Paste
(640-0051)                 Using Paste                Faxback Doc. # 31810

1.  Thoroughly clean the surfaces you want to solder.

2.  Push in the syringe plunger to apply solder paste along the joint area.

3.  Evenly heat the paste and surrounding metal using a gas soldering
    torch, with the tip of the flame about 1/2 inch from the paste.  Heat
    the entire joint slowly until the solder paste flows.

CAUTION:  When soldering to aluminum, be sure you do not overheat the
          aluminum.  Doing so can melt the aluminum and destroy the item
          you are soldering.

NOTES:  A gas torch (such as butane, propane, or MAPP) is recommended for
        most applications.  But, for some light duty applications, you can
        use a cigarette lighter.

        If the soldering heat is too high, the flux might burn.  If this
        happens, let the joint cool slowly, then remove all flux residue
        with hot water and a stiff brush.

        Store the solder paste at room temperature (60 to 78 degrees
        Fahrenheit).  If stored in high or low temperature areas, the flux
        and binder might separate.  If this happens, return the paste to
        room temperature, then stand the syringe with the nozzle pointing
        up. Insert a straightened paper clip in the nozzle to penetrate the
        paste.  Then allow the paste to absorb the fluid. If necessary,
        press the paper clip into the nozzle several times to clear it so
        the paste can flow freely.

WARNINGS:  Do not take internally.  If taken internally, induce vomiting
           and call a physician.

           Avoid getting the paste on your skin or in your eyes.  Flush any
           paste off using clean water.

           Keep out of the reach of children.

           Soldering and brazing creates fumes that can be hazardous to
           your health.  Use this paste only in a well-ventilated area or
           with ventilating equipment.
