Heat to temperature required for soldering. Do not overheat the piping. For small diameter piping, direct the heat near the joint. For large diameter piping, move the heat around the joint to ensure adequate solder flow around the circumference of the joint. NOT FOR USE

When soldering process is complete, allow joint to cool undisturbed. Remove any flux residual with a damp cloth. Do not store No. 5 Paste Flux above 100° F.
