Body tin solder S-Sn90Zn7Cu3 Lead free

Body tin for tinning weld seams, for leveling out dents, dents, unevenness, for adjusting gap dimensions on hood/door edges, body tin has a very large melting range and optimal gap filling. Body tin is often used, especially when restoring vintage cars. Body tin can also be used in model making. If you heat the solder to the working temperature, it has a cake batter-like consistency and can be spread with an oiled wooden spatula. In car body construction, this property is used to compensate for dents or dents. In technical model making, this can be helpful when creating molds or with a special shape (inner radius) for model components. If you use lead-free body tin we recommend this alloy. Sn90Zn7Cu3 is always our first choice.

Application body tin 

First, the component on which the body tin is to be applied must be treated with tinning paste nt become. While the soldering point is still warm, wipe it off with a wet cloth so that the tinning paste has a silvery shine. Now both the component and the body tin are brought evenly to working temperature. As soon as the solder begins to become soft, it is pressed onto the component with light pressure so that small piles form. As soon as enough tin has been applied to the area, the entire material is heated gently until it has reached a cake batter-like consistency. Now it can be spread with a wooden spatula soaked in linseed oil, for example. Finally, the excess material is removed with a coarse file until the desired shape is achieved.

If you use lead-free body tin we recommend this alloy. Sn90Zn7Cu3 is always our first choice.
