Hi All
I think these are similar to Lumiweld and other aluminium brazing rods. I’ve used these quite a lot and they are good but slightly more difficult to use than is suggested. I don’t have oxy acetylene so make do with a small oxy MAPP gas set. I find that you need to use them like solder, tin each face first and then join.
Excellent for thin aluminium lapped joints more complex for thick butt or fillet joints.
They are not cheap unless you get them on offer.
For any brass, steel joints I think silver solder is superior especially if you get fluxed rods.
Cheers
Howard
