[Lowfer] Results: Solder the Al.

[WE0H]

I have those rods here and it is interesting to get a solid weld or should I
call it braze on aluminum with them. I'll have a look at Home Depot today
and see if I can find what Kurt has.

I was asked by numerous welders...  "You ever try to use that s--t???"
"Those guys as the swapmeets have done it every day for years, they make it
look good and the results can rarely be duplicated"

No I bought a kit for about $7 (maybe $13, don't recall exactly), it
includes a special flux and 4' of hard solder.  After hearing the horror
stories from welders who do this for a living I went this route rather than
fight the rods.
