Soldering Paste and Heat Protection
The paste flux is a petrolatum based flux made for soft solders, including higher melting alloys, and it keeps its consistency in extreme temperatures. The heat shield gel is a spray barrier that helps protect nearby components, wood, insulation and drywall during soldering, brazing or welding.

The instant plumbing patch repairs holes and cracks in plumbing, tubing and piping, including copper, brass, aluminum, steel, PEX and PVC. Check the pipe material before you apply it, and have a qualified technician handle any pressurized gas or fuel line work.
