Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Make sure to clean the area very well with emery cloth or something like that. Worked great with a handheld map torch. Used a hand held propane torch to do the job.

Had to recreate an edge on a corvette wiper door. Worked great for repairing a small hole in a liquid line of an automobile air conditioning system.



Cons

Low temperature aluminum that might contain some indium or some other low melting point metal. Most likely zinc, as in is $$$. Doesn't work with a propane torch.

Quality


The rods work fine but you must be careful with the heat


Only difficulty i had was getting there material hot enough to work with the rods but once i did they worked great


I recommend using map gas but be sure you have a map torch using a propane torch with the map gas didnt heat the aluminum as well


I bought flux but i had prepared the surfaces well with a wire brush and they worked better without the flux

Packaging/appearance


As people have said heat the part and let it flow onto the part itself

    A typcial plumbers propane torch might not get the job done

    The sticks are fairly easy to work with as long as you dont let it run and dont apply heat directly to the stick

    You would never have known there was a big puncture hole in my bike frame at one point unless you stripped the paint off and saw the difference in colors of aluminum
