This thread is for everyone who ever wanted to repair aluminum. I just stumbled across this site a few minutes ago and was amazed at this product. I figured i would let the first genrs know about it. http://www.aluminumrepair.com/index.asp The ability to fix and repair aluminum with just as little as a mapp gas torch. You can read everything on the site but make sure to watch the movie. It's friggen amazing how easy it is and how strong the strength of this stuff is. Now we can all fix our oil coolers, housings, stripped bolts, anything! I couldn't run the video in firefox, resort to IE.

 

Wow. not too expensive either for what it can do!

 

If its all true,then thats disruptive technology at its finest!
Definately wont see any welding shops advertising that stuff!

 

Its all easy untill it doesnt want to stick.

Here's from the FAQ's, I'm not advertising anything, just showing what im seeing

Why is your material better than competitors and why does your material cost more?
Not to be confused with Alumaloy, Alumaweld, Alumarod, Durafix, Aladdin 3 in 1, or any other first generation rods most of them consisting of 3 alloys. HTS-2000 is a unique stand-alone product, Comprised of nine alloys that cost more to produce and through exhaustive testing led to this superior advanced technology. HTS-2000 has an elongation of 10% in 2 inches (rather than the standard 3% like the first generation rods listed above) which makes HTS-2000 3 times more flexible and stronger than any of its competitors. It also easily penetrates past impurities that lay below the metal's surface which may be impossible to penetrate with competitors materials. Also unlike the first generation rods HTS-2000 does not require steel or special cleaning brushes. All of this means not only a more expensive manufacturing process with new technology but also superior quality (this is the best brazing rod you can buy anywhere at any price) direct to the customer, see our testimonials and video and it will be easy for you to choose HTS-2000 as your #1 choice.

 

I think I'll have to get some of that stuff and try it out. I've been looking into getting the required parts to weld aluminum with my welder, but this may be a better alternative.... Wonder if it really does what it claims...

 

thanks alot for this link ... I might just try this out too

 

are these the rods like they sell at swap meets?
