Borax, Sparex, Boric, Alum & Citric Acid

What Is Borax Acid Crystals and How Is It Used in Jewellery Making?

Borax acid crystals are commonly used in jewellery making as a flux material. When heated, borax helps to clean metal surfaces by removing oxides, ensuring that the solder bonds properly. This essential material is used in conjunction with other products like solder paste and solder wire to create strong, clean joints.

How Do I Use Borax Acid Crystals in Jewellery Making?

To use borax acid crystals, dissolve them in water to create a paste and apply it to the metal surfaces that will be soldered. Once applied, heat the area with a torch to remove oxidation and prepare the surface for the soldering process. For additional soldering materials, check out our solder wire and fluxes collections.

Can Borax Acid Crystals Be Used for Larger Jewellery Pieces?

Yes, borax acid crystals can be used for both small and larger jewellery pieces. For larger projects like bracelets or rings, it is recommended to use a larger quantity of borax solution. Combine with solder sheets & chips for larger pieces and use tools from the solder wire collection to apply the solder smoothly.

What Are the Benefits of Using Borax Acid Crystals in Jewellery Making?

Borax acid crystals offer several key benefits for jewellery makers:

• Helps clean metal surfaces and remove oxidation for better soldering bonds
• Works well with other soldering materials like solder wire and fluxes
• Essential for both small and larger jewellery pieces when combined with solder sheets & chips
