On late nite TIV there is an infomercial wherein they sell an aluminum welding alloy that can be used with a propane torch.
Usually half asleep when its on - they often run it on Saturday afternoons on some of the DIY channels.
THey show it welding transmission cases and other stuff pretty nicely. Even passes a semi bogus "chisel" test. They show specs for the material as it flashes by on the screen. Surely SOMEBODY else out there has seen it/can recall the 800 number for it.
Since I'm a firm believer in TIG welding aluminum (as is appropriate for aircraft and race car work) I don't pay too much attention to the infomercial. However, it should be quite adequate for hobby work and could be a hand thing to have for anything less than aerospace work. |
