Melting Point = 90-100 C

Working Properties

Easiest application is to stick a hot soldering needle into the powder and then apply the melted polyamide.
An alternative consists of melting the polyamide powder with an iron between two sheets of silicone coated polyester film, in order to obtain a coat of approx. 1-2 mm thickness. After cooling, the polyamide coat is cut in very thin strips. These strips are then used together with the soldering needle to weld the threads.
