Re: Aluminum Welding Flux?
Throw away the torch and find a friend / sponsor with a TIG or at least a MIG. Aluminum is a tricky one and heat control is key, you need to be able to accurately control the weld temperature and be precise - in my experience TIG is the way to go, more precise and forgiving, but lots of shops appear to do aluminum with MIGs very well. Experiment on scrap pieces of the same thickness and then give it a shot. Good luck!
