OVERVIEW

The Smart Solution for Tricky Brazing Joints

Struggling to feed brazing wire into a tight lap joint or keep a carbide tip in place while you heat it? The Soudotec Silvershim Kit is the solution you've been looking for. This 50-gram pack of silver brazing strip (0.010" thick x 0.500" wide) allows you to prepare your joints with absolute precision before you ever light the torch. Instead of trying to chase the heat with a rod, you simply cut a piece of this shim to match your contact area, place it between your parts with some flux, and apply heat.

As the assembly reaches temperature, the shim melts and flows outward, creating a perfect, uniform bond across the entire surface area. This eliminates the "starved" joints that can happen with wire feeding and prevents the mess of excess solder globs. It is incredibly easy to work with—you can cut it with a standard pair of shop snips or heavy-duty scissors.

Whether you are repairing band saw blades, fabricating custom tools, or working on delicate instrument parts, this silver shim gives you the control of a master craftsman. It takes the headache out of joining flat surfaces and ensures your repairs hold up under pressure. Add this kit to your toolbox for those moments when precision counts more than speed.
