[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 432098, member: 13599"] Dennis - this is another popular topic here: fluxless aluminum rods have been used with mixed results. you would have to try it and form your own opinion if it will work for you or not. the biggest complaint is all that heat concentrated in one small area warps the metal and sometimes does not recover back to the original flat position. plus - that area is now annealed and is somewhat softer than the unheated area. the melting point of aluminum is around 1200* - the annealing point is 700-800*.
