Features & Compatibility
The Borax Dish and Cone set is an essential soldering tool for jewelers, silversmiths, and metalworkers. The borax cone is ground against the dish with a little water to create a liquid flux solution, which cleans and protects metal surfaces during heating. This flux ensures smooth solder flow, prevents oxidation, and results in strong, clean joints while working with precious metals like gold, silver, and platinum.
