    The paste solder mentioned is not for use with a soldering iron. 

    Paste solder is available in sterling & most gold karats. Paste
    solder usually is a mixture of powdered solder, flux & a carrier.
    It's available in the usual temperature ranges of hard, medium, easy
    & in some case extra easy. Many jewelers suppliers sell it. Two
    manufacturers that I know of aRe: Krohn Industries, Carlstadt NJ &
    Unique Solutions Inc. in Sunrise FL. 

    Paste solder is usually sold in syringes & dispensed by installing
    the appropriate sized needle on the syringe. 

Dave
