bigb Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Has anyone tried Larry Zoeller's Z Weld? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoggy Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I should think most here have used it......since it's otherwise known as borax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigb Posted February 10, 2018 Author Share Posted February 10, 2018 I looked everywhere and could not find the ingredients, how do you know it's just Borax? It looks like Larry started formulating it 10 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judson Yaggy Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Ask for the Saftey Data Sheet to find out what's in it. Some of the commercially available fluxes claim to have no borax in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Special Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 You don't have to ask, it's available online. 99% Sodium Tetraborate....aka borax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 If you go to the torch welding, brazing, silver soldering, etc. isle in your local welding supplier's place start reading labels on cans of dry flux. Most are anhydrous borax, boric acid and some proprietary thing to color it, quite a few have iron powder in them too if you like. I bught a can of Patterson's Blue ( forget if it's #1 or #2) it's the one without iron in it. It was $23.76 IIRC for a 1 lb. can shipping included. A can of E weld, Cherry weld, Swan, etc. starts around $90/lb. + shipping. The Patterson's blue works just fine. Better than laundry borax, it forms an even continuous cover without boiling. That's a property of being anhydrous, no water can't boil. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
