Every order helps keep your local hardware store on the corner.

Why we built NHG
You might find it for less locally. Independent retailers often offer competitive pricing — some products are even cheaper in-store than online.
Real expert advice — not search results. Independent hardware staff know their inventory and the local conditions you're working in.
Keep the neighborhood working. Every dollar spent at an independent retailer returns roughly 3x more to your local economy than at a national chain.

About Product Overview

Alpha Fry 16 oz Lead-Free Paste Flux is the smart choice for non-electrical soldering tasks, delivering precise wetting and dependable joint protection in a convenient 16-ounce jar. This lead-free, water-soluble flux is designed to simplify your workflow while helping you achieve cleaner, stronger joints on metalworking projects.

Why this flux stands out:

  • Lead-free formulation meets modern safety expectations and reduces exposure to traditional flux materials, making it a responsible choice for hobbyists and makers alike.
  • Water-soluble texture enables straightforward cleanup, so post-work residue won’t slow you down—just rinse with water after the job is done.
  • Generous 16-ounce container keeps your workbench stocked for extended sessions, multiple projects, or small shop use.
  • Pastelike consistency provides precise application on tight joints and delicate pieces without excessive dripping or waste.
  • Non-electrical use tailored for jewelry making, metal fabrication, plumbing-related soldering, and other mechanical joints where smooth solder flow matters.

Ideal applications include repairing or joining silver and gold jewelry, assembling small metal components in crafts, or prepping joints for tinning and brazing. The Alpha Fry paste flux enhances solder flow, helps protect surfaces during heating, and supports consistent results across hobby projects and light fabrication tasks.

How to use (quick guide to maximize performance):

  1. Prepare the joints by cleaning and drying the metal surfaces to remove oils and oxidation.
  2. Apply a thin, even layer of flux to the joint area where solder will flow.
  3. Assemble parts and apply heat gradually; the flux will promote wetting and help solder spread evenly.
  4. After completing the joint, allow it to cool and rinse flux residue with warm water, then dry thoroughly.

Choose Alpha Fry 16 oz Lead-Free Paste Flux for a practical, safer fluxing option that supports precise, dependable results in non-electrical soldering projects. Perfect for makers, hobbyists, and small shops looking for an easy-to-clean, lead-free solution.

Their Counter
Try local first · we'll wait

The stores we send you to are local and independently run — often for generations, the kind of place where someone behind the counter knows the regulars. We don't own them. We just think they deserve the foot traffic. They can put most of what we sell on their next truck. Ask there before you check out here.

About our directory. National Hardware Group is an independent retailer and directory. The local stores we list and link to are separately owned and operated — we have no ownership stake in any of them, and most pay us nothing to be included. That includes plenty of stores flying a co-op banner that people don't realize are locally owned and run, not operated by a corporation. Store owners can choose to upgrade their listing for an enhanced presence or pickup features, but the base directory is free, and inclusion is never a paid endorsement.
