Will this work for metals other than lead, ie copper, silver and aluminum?

Eddie sola is correct. You'll need a cast iron mold, the temps are to high for this aluminum mold.

I believe Eddie Sola is right. Melting point is higher for these other metals so you will need a mold like cast iron. I believe one of the other Brand names makes the same type mold in cast iron. Amazon also sells these. Clancy

No, this mold is made of aluminum, so the temperatures required to melt copper is much higher than what this mold can handle. I suggest an iron mold for what you want.

I don't know. It is for metals and I suspect you could contact the company and ask.

I'm not sure but it also did not clean silver well after soldering. I don't recommend it.

It should...I don't buy this for jewelry, I buy it to clean my crystal chandelier, and I am not sure what metal that is!

I used them on thin aluminum. If you apply enough pressure it should work on metal

No it will not melt gold or silver. It is designed to melt lead which has a Much lower melting point than both gold or silver. You need a crucible to do that.

To be honest i don't know.i have used in on lead,pewter and plastic. The do does a great job with these

I have never tried it on brass or copper, both of which have cleanersadvertised, but if you buy it for silver, try it. Brass and copper aretough metals to clean, silver is far easier.ss

As long as the metal parts are not aluminum it will work. Do not use if there is any chance of it coming in contact with aluminum as it will corrode it.

I don't think there's any problem using this product on aluminum, I have used it with great success and the product has come in contact with several differt metals including copper and brass without issues. Make sure if your using a scraper to scrape with somethingthat won't damage your aluminum.

No. These are not for any metal at all. I use it on mud flaps, leather and gasket material

I would say not. It is more intended for metal to metal contacts such as plugs, volume potentiometers, switches, guitar plugs, etc. I don't think it's meant for micro-electronic applications. But you might want to contact the manufacturer to find out for sure!

I have used this on many things and it works very well. I have not used it on Metal.

I haven't used it for soldering anything but Cu wire, but I know that his solder is not made for your purpose. Any solder joint, other than pure lead, made with acid flux will corrode with time. Therefore, I wouldn't advise it. Look into materials for brazing metals, which generally requires hotter temperatures than common solders and also requires a torch, I believe.

I know it cleans sliver and gold. It will clean any metal, you just have to check which cleaning solution you use. I love mine! Great investment.

I have used it mainly for jewelry. I believe that it is safe for anything silver and can be applied with a cloth.Works GREAT on jewelry!

Lauren. It would work well on silver and gold. I am not sure on the other three metals but people polish rocks with them so I don't see why not.
