Great product surprises no more popular.

Works the same as gas backflow. Dissolve it in methanol and apply paint. In a few minutes the methanol will evaporate and you can start welding. Slag is hard to remove unless you have access to a rear hatch or use a terrible HF and nitric acid passivator to remove it. But it works great, prevents shugaring, easy to use.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Minor issues

Where were you when the game was changed?

If you still brace, you're a loser. Stop wasting argon, smooth brain. SolarFlux is the only way. When you run out of gas, it's the TIG stainless steel god that scatters a magical gray powder that keeps your stainless steel from oxidizing on the back.

Pros
  • Model number: S0FB01
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks

It's a great alternative to gas backflow on stainless steel

This flux is a great alternative to gas backflow even when gas backflow is a possibility. I had several 5 foot welds on 16 gauge stainless steel and used this flux instead of gas reflow. I really liked the results. Sometimes some flux leaks out into the weld pool, but that doesn't cause any real problems. It is very easy to mix and keeps well for several days in a well-sealed container. It doesn't take much to cover a lot. This material is of great importance. Alcohol evaporates quickly, but…

Pros
  • Item Weight: 1.25lbs
Cons
  • Available in white only

What You Want to Weld Stainless Steel 304 316 321

Received quickly, at a great price, this is what you use to weld Stainless Steel 30x 304 316 321 TIG exhaust or any use case where you don't want to run a backflush to protect against carbide buildup from the backside. I mix it with heat, which you can buy at any auto shop, so the fuel doesn't freeze. It is methanol and it is recommended to mix with sun flux. Make a paste out of it, runny, like the consistency of olive oil, not very runny but not thick like toothpaste. It will become hard after

Pros
  • Designed to protect the back of the weld from oxygen
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
