HASCLF4 - Harris Stay-Clean Liquid Soldering Flux - 4 oz Bottle

Achieve Professional Solder Joints with Harris Stay-Clean Liquid Flux

Take the frustration out of soldering with Harris Stay-Clean Liquid Flux, the go-to solution for welders, hobbyists, and DIY repair specialists. Packaged in a handy 4 oz bottle, this powerful liquid flux is designed to help you create strong, professional-grade solder joints on a variety of metals. If you have ever struggled to get solder to stick to stainless steel or dirty copper, Stay-Clean is the answer. Its active zinc chloride formula cuts through tough oxides and grime, preparing the metal surface for a perfect bond.

Why Use Liquid Flux?

Liquid flux offers distinct advantages over paste flux for certain applications. It flows instantly into tight gaps and seams, pulling the molten solder along with it via capillary action. This makes it ideal for precision work, stained glass projects (using lead or zinc cames), and intricate metal repairs where paste might be too thick to penetrate effectively. With Stay-Clean, you get excellent coverage and wetting action, ensuring your solder flows smoothly and adheres tightly.

Versatile Metal Capability:

One of the biggest benefits of Harris Stay-Clean is its versatility. It works on virtually all metals used in general repair, except for aluminum and magnesium. Whether you are fixing a galvanized bucket, joining brass fittings, or repairing a stainless steel tool, this flux is up to the task. It is compatible with all common soft solders, including solid wire solders used with a soldering iron or torch.

Important Usage Tips:

• Preparation: While the flux is a strong cleaner, it is always best practice to mechanically clean the joint with a wire brush or abrasive cloth before applying flux.
• Application: Apply a small amount of liquid flux to the joint area before heating.
• Safety: This is an acid-based product. Always work in a well-ventilated area and avoid contact with skin and eyes.
• Cleanup: After the joint has cooled, wash the area thoroughly with water to remove any corrosive residue. This step is crucial to keep your project looking great and lasting a long time.
• Warning: Do not use on electrical wires or circuit boards.
