[QUOTE="Y_J, post: 369907, member: 14258"] Use a Stainless Steel brush on the area you'll be brazing. The rod you'll be using is actually a low temp aluminum rod. The base metal has to reach 720 degrees for the rod to melt. Once cooled down after the job, it is actually stronger than the base metal. You can then grind, sand and paint and never know the crack was there. Well, you will but no one else will LOL.. I've used this technique on my tin can several times during it's makeover. [/QUOTE]
