Well i think I'm going to have to get a few of these rods and make my own roll-cage .
They couldn't of made it easier
Welding for moron's not saying im a morron, i can weld i can honets :lol::lol:
but i can
 
I've got some of that stuff, and it really is as fantastic as the video shows. the main UK importer is Laser tools, but a quick flebay will find a supplier. I think in the US it is called HTS 2000 http://www.aluminumrepair.com/

there are other alu-weld rods out there, but this particular one doesn't need flux. the only bit they aren't really telling you is that you need to clean the area with some fine emery first (to get ris of the oxide layer), then start melting it, and when molten, scrape the metal UNDER the pool of molten alu-weld with the stainless steel wire brush to break the oxide layer again. other than that, it's a doddle.

Low melt Aluminum Alloy rods have been around for years the only thing you really need to keep in mind is if it melts at lower temps, its a softer alloy so the repairs will have their limits, like voo2doo stared whenever welding aluminum cleanlyness is the most imposrtant thing to keep in mind, then like the video shows little heat then remove flame, to avoid hot spots, then heat more, and remember aluminum heats faster and disapates faster, but it also transfers quicker than steel to keep that in mind, sorry I'm a welder/fab guys and get carried away sometimes!!!!!!!
 
I have some of that too, here in the states it's called "AlumAlloy" (a-loom-a-loy)

Great stuff, I've used it to weld up the manifold on my buddies large scale plane. It doesn't replace tig welding, but as long as the repair doesn't get too hot it works pretty well.

It works sort of like soldering together a copper water pipe & fitting. It's not a true weld, since the parent material and the filler never melts and 'flows together' the way it does in a weld, so it can never bond the pieces together the way welding does.

It "Glues" pieces together. Nonetheless it works ok on thin aluminum that would be difficult to Tig.
