[QUOTE="GTS225, post: 511999, member: 6678"] I don't see how you could have seen what you described. Brazing involves brass rod and iron-based metals, and includes temperatures that will melt aluminum. What you may have seen is the use of those aluminum/zinc "welding" rods that can be used to attach aluminum to aluminum, and the metals prep involves brushing both with CLEAN stainless brushes. Youi can weld aluminum to aluminum with a MIG welder that's outfitted with a spool gun. I tell you this to prevent you from trying to "braze", in the classical sense, and end up with a big melted hole where you start to heat up the hull. Roger [/QUOTE]
