Kester 44 rosin flux is an activated rosin formula for use in flux-cored solder wire. Kester 44 rosin flux has virtually dominated the field of activated rosin core solders for well over four decades. An outstanding performance feature of this flux is the “instant-action” wetting behavior. The high mobility and fast-spreading action of this flux results in more reliable production line soldering.

Itâs good solder
Solders and flows well. Itâs a good buy.

Great solder, easy to work with, good value
Used this solder on structural steel plates and electronics.It’s turned out great in both applications.The flux core is aggressive, and greatly assists in working with corroded metal. It melts very easily, and readily alloys with higher temperature solder so you can help you hot air station do the job if you bought something from Europe. Highly recommended.

Solder noting fancy
Good melt temp. Not as clean as mg solder but overall good quality.

What’s not to love about Kester 60-40?
I ordered this solder in error – thought I was ordering 97% Sn / 3% Ag. I was pleasantly surprised when I received the 60% Sn / 40% Pb. I didn’t think you could buy it anymore, and I had been saving the last of a spool of 60/40 for some difficult application. Needless to say, I am excited to be reunited with my old friend. It was truly a pleasure to use it. It melts so easily and flows beautifully – even more so because it’s a high-quality Kester product (worth the extra money). It reminds me of just how much I hate the 97Sn/Ag3 stuff, although this solder certainly has its applications when hardness and resistance to softening/melting are important.Thank you, Kester, for supplying us old-schoolers with the products we love! 🙂

Low melt temp, good flow, strong hold
We needed a lower melt temp solder for art projects. My daughter is using it to join steel horse shoe nails to make christmas ornaments. Works great. Flows out well and has a good strong bond. Little pricey but it works!

As described
A spool of leaded solder wire that melts at just the right temperature, exactly what I needed.

Good stuff
I just started to solder, my first try was with some no name solder from China, 60/40 rosin core but it was .8 and didnât work well for me at all. So i researched a little and bought kester brand at .4 and also bought flux. The next try my soldering connections came out beautifull!!!

Works well.
Thick spool that will not easily break. Solder flows well.
