Can anybody tell me if plumber's solder will withstand the heat of the
powder coating process?

Powder coating involves the item being coated being heated to about
200 to 250deg C depending upon the material of the coating to be
applied. Lead free 95:5 Sn/Sb plumber solder melts at about 235deg
so it would be a close run thing.

Thanks for the information. It looks as if I'll have to think of another
way of doing the job.

Hi,

Try a higher temperature solder like silver solder, (though not all
silver solders melt at a higher temperature...)

cheers,
Pete.
