Abstract: The invention relates to a method for uniformly coating a metallic or metallised braided hose, in particular a stranded braided hose with a solder or a soldering and fluxing agent. According to the invention, the solder is provided in bar or tubular form, wherein the outer diameter or the cross-sectional area of the bar or the tube is chosen to be less than the inner diameter or the inner cross-sectional area of the braided hose. Furthermore, the solder is pushed into at least one longitudinal portion of the braided hose and the solder is fixed in the braided hose cavity. Further processing of the braided hose, in particular heating to the melting point of the solder introduced, can then be performed in a generally known way.
