Re: Is Welding Worth It?

Brazing Aluminum is best done with a specialized Flux first to reduce the oxidation layer and help the braze to flow. There are quite a few different Aluminum braze rods out there. I just mentioned some.

Using a rod with flux in it is fine, but is a poor subistute for applying AL flux first. The Benzomatic AL3 rods are available at Home Depot stores, and are thus the easiest to find for most with no shipping.
