[QUOTE="Wildman, post: 96087, member: 1739"] After burning through 3lbs of HTS-2000 let me tell you that the hand torch you have isn't enough. I finally went and got my dad's cuting torch and after getting that aluminum really good and hot, and tinning the aluminum first, I am getting joints that I would put up to welding. The rods are ones that you have to learn the properties of the aluminum and practice (I have had it with my build). The problem that you are going to run into is just that "run". The rods will run if not brazed on a level or semi-level surface. What I did was "tack" brazed my angle in and then when I put my boat on the sides I can braze up the rest of the joints at level. I still pop riveted for double safety. [/QUOTE]
