Just tried to solder 6061 T6 Aluminum.  I was told to cut the Al then
clean
the joints with a stainless brush...  I lost my brush so...  I cut the
Al

Kurt, those Home stores <G> have the small stainless brushes and also
the brass ones. I frequently use a SS brush to clean old stuff that is
to be soldered so as not to contaminate it as, say, a wire brush can.

Noting your preference for that AL soldering kit from a welding supply
store, I'll avoid one with stick available at a local farm store for
now. I been wanting to have that technique ready to use.
