- that uses a propane torch with to repair/solder /weld aluminum together with? Only a little. The tricky part is that the rod's melting point is only a little below the aluminum's. Practice on stuff

- It works OK but watch the melting point of the aluminum you are heating. Don't ask about my gate latch that turned into a puddle of melted aluminum. But I have used it to *weld* a steering wheel boss

- The best stuff I've found on the market is "Alumaloy" but it's fairly expensive. Northern and Harbor Fr8 both carry a pretty good rod/flux/brush kit. The trick is to get the work as clean as it can

- You're a better man than I Gungha Din. My only experiences in welding sheet alum. was more like smelting! I know it can be done, but whatever you do PRACTICE on a non critical part. Geoff Branch '74

- One more thought. After the weld is completed. Re-heat the weld and then quench with water. This will return the aluminum to it's malleable state. Dave@Taos Garage Annex in Albuquerque '59 AH :{) '54
