fiatboy Posted April 6, 2016 Posted April 6, 2016 I am making a custom exhaust system using solder. Is there a "best solder" type to use? Would I use a self-etching primer first? Thanks for the help.
Crazy Ed Posted April 6, 2016 Posted April 6, 2016 Use Solid Core Solder. You can glue it with either Epoxy or CA Glue.
Ace-Garageguy Posted April 6, 2016 Posted April 6, 2016 (edited) Use Solid Core Solder. You can glue it with either Epoxy or CA Glue.Exactly, and here's just a little more info you might not know.Lead / tin solder comes in 3 common types...1) acid-core for plumbing 2) rosin-core for electronics and 3) solid core, which has no flux core, naturally. You want to use the solid core stuff because the fluxes in the other two types will probably ooze out over time and make a mess of your work, and they can make it difficult to get glue to adhere well.
