![]() 508 forum posts 98 photos | A simple question. Is it possible to soft solder BZP items. I want to solder some BZP nuts onto some BZP threaded tube. I have a small solder bath, and both bakers fluid and solder paste. Would this be possible of should I use Locktite. Dek. |

Have you checked the Bakers Fluid recently ? when I last went to use mine I found it had eaten through the tin and rusted some HSS dies stored next to it. Emgee |

![]() 508 forum posts 98 photos | Emgee, the same thing happened to a tin full I had some years ago, but I bought some in a plastic bottle from the Midlands show a few years ago. It is still clean with no leaks. Thanks to Mike Poole for the info, and to mechman48 for the laugh. The nuts and threaded tube are new ones and were by my standards expensive, which is why I didn't want to try something I have never done before with them, IE solder on zinc plating. |
