Ed,
I had a small package on my doorstep when I got
home tonight. It included a video tape, a tube with 40 foot-and-a-half
silver rods, and a sheet of paper saying "watch the video, and give us a call if
you have any problems", or something like that. Well, I don't think they
will be getting any calls from me. I watched the 5-minute video, and then
spent about 10 minutes soldering, er, brazing two 1/16" alclad angles together
with great success. This stuff is about as
easy to use as sweating solder. I used a mapp bottle torch, and it worked
great. I'm pretty sure a standard propane torch would do just as well.
This stuff melts pretty easily.
Thanks, Ed, this will be a great help, hopefully,
sometime soon. $65 (plus shipping) well spent.
Tracy.

Wendell, I found the HTS-2000 the only aluminum brazing
rod that I was ever able to successfully use. I have brazed thin wall
aluminum tubing to heavy manifold castings with excellence results. I
attempted to use aluminum brazing rods in the past without much success - but
the HTS-2000 were different and worked well.

I have been lurking off list for the past few weeks due to being away
so much. Ran across the brazing subject and was wondering if you
were using HTS-2000 brazing rod? I want to try my hand at brazing
aluminum, so could someone give advice on this, and no I don't want to tig
weld (no equipment and don't want to take it to a welding shop).
Thanks in advance,
Wendell
