TECHNIQUE® ASIC Borax Dish

The TECHNIQUE® ASIC Borax Dish is a traditional, bench-essential studio tool engineered specifically for creating clean, high-efficiency soldering flux from raw borax cones and water.

Crafted from premium unglazed ceramic, this robust dish features a specialized, texturized abrasive surface that acts as a natural grinding mechanism. Because it contains no glossy glazes or chemical coatings, it allows jewelers and metalsmiths to grind down crystalline borax safely without introducing unwanted contaminants. Preparing your flux fresh at the bench using this method ensures a high-purity protective barrier that shields precious metal alloys from firescale and guarantees that your silver and gold solders flow exactly where intended.

Key Product Features

• Unglazed Abrasive Ceramic Surface: Formulated with a rough, toothy ceramic texture that grinds off small amounts of borax easily when friction is applied.

• Contamination-Resistant Pool Design: Built with raised, thick-walled protective borders to contain liquid and protect your fresh flux mixture from stray workbench debris.

• Optimized Paste Consistency Yield: Allows artisans to control the viscosity of their flux mix perfectly, making a paste thick enough to stay placed but fluid enough for precise brush painting.

• Heavy-Mass Mechanical Stability: The dense, weighted ceramic base provides excellent slip resistance, staying firmly in position on your soldering block during vigorous manual grinding strokes.

• Universal Flux Brush Compatibility: Features a wide, shallow interior basin profile that accommodates standard camel-hair or synthetic flux brushes for easy picking and application.
