Nope, I used it one sanded clean copper pipe, pennies, and freshly machined copper stock. Couldn't get it ot work on any of them. It created a nast black smoke real fast and didn't melt or anything. Had to take it outside. Regular solder flux isn't as bad. I also got the Copper plumbers stuff, not the silver stuff. I may have got a bad tube.
I may try it again to see if I applied to much heat or something.
