Firescoff™ is a revolutionary
heat activated ceramic spray coating. Firescoff™ combines a
scale preventer, a high performance non-fluorinated flux (for
both hard and soft solder) and the convenience of easy removal
in warm water, all-in-one.
Firescoff™ Instructions (Total time - Less
than 20 seconds):
With a jewelers torch, gently heat jewelry
to between 200F and 250F (95C-120C)
Avoid damage and hot-spots by moving the
flame continuously over the jewelry surfaces.
Spray Firescoff™ so that it coats jewelry metal and gemstones
evenly. The heat of the metal will activate Firescoff™ from
a clear liquid mist to a protective ceramic anti-oxidation
barrier with built-in flux.
For Best Results:
Apply Firescoff™ as a fine mist by holding the spray bottle
6 to 8 inches from jewelry. This ensures even coverage inside
channel settings, pave, on detailed filigree, and engravings.
Make sure that the entire piece is coated (not just the area
being worked on) to prevent the appearance of scale.
For Best Results: Improve Firescoff™ coverage
and catch overspray at the bench by spraying Firescoff™ at
jewelry centered over a 12 or 16oz wide-mouth cup.
Using the torch, gently reheat coated
jewelry. Apply additional Firescoff™ where
a reflection of the metal or gemstones is
still visible.
Design Idea: Firescoff™ can be used as a
mask to selectively use heat scale as a decorative / design
element on jewelry. Design detail can be as small as 0.6 mm (0.024 inches).
Jewelry evenly coated with
Firescoff™ is now protected from scaling. It is also ready
for immediate single or multiple retipping, stone setting,
head replacement, etc.
Firescoff™ offers all the benefits of a high performance non-fluorinated
flux with superior control and performance over traditional
paste and liquid flux. With Firescoff, no additional flux
is required.
The Firescoff™ coating
can be removed by simply rinsing jewelry in warm water or
placing jewelry briefly (less than 30 seconds) in an ultrasonic
cleaner.
