Thank you. I did not know there was so much variance in the solder types.

Unfortunately no, you're going to have to search for that on your own. Most jewelry suppliers don't sell preforms. Our hard solder is .032 inch thick, so you could make your own. Best of luck.

Paste solder looks interesting, but you mentioned that it has a 1 year shelf life. What happens to the product after a year and if using how would you know that it is old?

We don't use paste solder very often, so this took a little research! How to know when it’s bad: - The flux and powder will separate - Discoloration, - Thick paste that will not dispense - When it flows little beads of solder remain Storage tips that may extend the shelf life: - Keep it in the fridge (in a bag where it’s not exposed to food) - Cap must be on tightly - Store vertically, tip side down
