[QUOTE="Y_J, post: 365968, member: 14258"] I'm getting ready to use the brazing rods on mine. There melting temp is 750 according to my research. Using a propane torch (you don't want to get it to close or you'll melt another hole in the hull) heat up to area to be repaired and touch the rod to it and work it around the edges of the hole. Let the hull melt the rod, not the torch. As you work it around the hole edge work you way in to the center. From all the videos I've watched on youtube about doing this, the repaired area turns out stronger than the original area. Just my 2 penny's worth. Good luck with whatever you do BTW you can get an 8 pack of the rods at Tractor Supply for about $13. [/QUOTE]
