The stuff we used was in wire form just like the lower temperature stuff.
And it didn't have to get all that much hotter. Some, but not a lot.

We didn't use it a lot. When we did it was to solder certain connections
together that had to take a whole lot of unexpected vibration in certain
airplanes under certain conditions and go on flying with at least some of
their electronics still working.
