Silver Solder Technique
for Attachment of Leads to Strain Gages

Flux Removal

Step 1

Apply a small amount of M-Prep Conditioner A to soften the flux, and lightly brush the softened material away with a camel-hair or other soft brush. [Warming the Conditioner A to +120 deg F (+50 deg C) before applying will accelerate this process.] Inspect the joint and repeat as necessary until the solder is shiny in appearance.

Step 2

Flood the area with M-Prep Neutralizer 5A and blot dry with tissue or a gauze sponge . Remove the protective paper between the leads and insulation.
