AHHH please guys
From day one I started on my twin charged project I allready told about this stuff. that's about a year back or so?
I have used it to solder various things together, even a complete intake manifold, and loads of other small bits in mostly in cooling systems.
it's wonderfull, b
ut you need to pratice a lot to get welds really nice, do everything the leaflet says, clean with the wire brush that comes with it, burn, clean, brun, then clean some more, heat it up some more, the clean again. did I allready mention you need to use the brush to clean it up a little??? so has it been shiny? is it still shiny? then put some more heat in until it goes dull, take awat the flame and gently touch the pieces with the rod, it will melt off and harden within seconds, leave it to cool and you're done. but make sure it's CLEAN and the clean part kept in the flame until hot enough to solder.
it also helps a lot of the gap between the to parts is kept as small as possible.
youse the flame to heat the matterial not the rod itself or it will become a complete mess
also joints are much stronger than I expected from this stuff, but peel strength is not all that so don;t build anything constructive with it.
I soldered 2 pieces of 20 X 20 X 2mm angle alluminium with it, it took a bench vice, a grip vice and two sore hands and 20minutes to seperate it the weld broke due to the peel strength, the angle pieces where not recognisable anymore as such and the molten rod was still in one piece.
