A: Yes, these rods are specifically designed for use on aluminum boats and can be used to repair small cracks and holes. One reviewer successfully used them to repair a boat gunnel, noting that the material flows well and has enough body to bridge small cracks.

A: Hello, thank you for your question. These aluminum rods are self-fluxing brazing filler rods for aluminum and magnesium. They can be used to braze small repairs on aluminum parts, but they’re not the same as a structural welding rod. For heavy or load-bearing areas like a transmission housing, a proper aluminum welding filler is usually a better choice

A: Hello, thank you for your question. Per the vendor, "There is no defined tensile strength for this product. It is designed to join any 2 metals that have Zinc or Aluminum as the base metal. Because of this, there are 100’s of combinations that would change the tensile strength based on the 2 base metals."

A: Yes, per the vendor, these are welding rods or welding electrodes.

A: If you are able to achieve the 700 degree melting point temperature on the material to be brazed then yes you can use a propane torch. If your torch will not produce enough BTU's to get to the 700 degree pint then it will not work.

A: Thin sheet metal can be welded when using the proper technique.
