The rods worked as stated but my boat was to thin to weld or I got the aluminum too hot cause it buckled as I was heating it.

Hi Adrian, I posted a video that addresses this issue. Go to youtube.com/c/aluminum-weld and watch the Heat Control video. Also sometimes aluminum will warp when heated. Hope this helps.

I give it a 3 because its not quite as easy as they make it out to be, I used it on a aluminium AC condenser on a car that had rubbed thur against steel cleaned it well an it stuck well to one side tough to get it to stick to the other so it worked so far but not really sure ot the integrity of the braze. time will tell. I used propane and that is alittle under temp to make this work. MAPP or oxy acetlyene would probably be better and easier to get the base material hot enough to spread it and get a bond. Ill try again with either of those and report back.

The rods were all broken from being transported in an envelope that was too small and had no protective edges or anything to keep them from being crushed or broken during their journey.

Thank you for your feedback. We had to change our packaging due to shipping issues that came about due to COVID-19. USPS has delayed and piled up first class mail which contributed to rod breaking during shipping. We now are shipping in a protective package.

Did not bond to bare aluminum very well in my experience wanted to bead and collect on surface instead of bonding to surface. Only way i was able to get it to fill the 1/8” hole was getting material bead on surface and taking a steel piece of metal to push it flat against the aluminum

Hi Dustin, What you are describing to me is the aluminum was not up to 735 degrees F. or the aluminum was contaminated. I am guessing that you had to add heat to the steel for the bond. I use steel as you did for overhead and vertical jobs. I have videos showing this technique at youtube.com/c/aluminum-weld. Also I can be called for questions. Thanks for your review as they help us all and I plan to add a video to youtube showing these issues. YouTube Video link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INhPrY4X6Ts

Being inexperienced working with heating any type of metal it just didn’t work for me. That’s not a problem with your product, no doubt it’s quality stuff. Tried to repair a crack on an aluminum Jon boat. As I heated it one side of the crack moved one direction and the other side in the opposite direction. Made it a warped bigger crack.

They worked as advertised. I was welding on a pontoon boat upside down. It occasionally would pull up and drop it not very careful. Shipping seem to take a little longer than usual.

I could use couldn’t get enough heat one-sided metal on my boat fold it up and it came back down out there cool down but I could use them I couldn’t get it to melt

Aluminum pontoon. First hole was about the size of an eraser. Wouldn’t cover it no matter what i did. Second hole a little smaller and worked after a few attempts.

Heating the prop made the rubber hub separate. Bought a map gas torch because propane wouldn’t heat it after an hour. Map gas less than a minute. Now spent more money on rod, torch, and hub than a new prop would cost. Would definitely add a heat shield to a prop to protect the rubber if you attempt.

Reheated, was able to build it up. Used a dabbing motion and it worked. Thanks for the advice. Just had to not overheat the aluminum like you said.

I had trouble on a pontoon vertical weld it kept driping off till I burned a bigger hole,sure my lack of talent,worked fine on flat stock rails
