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

I gotta throw my 2 cents in here now! My dad was a welder for P & G for 30 years. I saw him weld two aluminum pie tins together UNDERWATER just for fun. He said it wasn't very difficult... Kent sheet
