Review on ๐Ÿ”ฅ Bernzomatic AL3 Aluminum Brazing/Welding Rods - 12-Inch Rods, Working Temp 720-750ยฐF, 2-Piece by Dre Fishburne

They work great if you get it right

These rods work fantastically and offer excellent soldering opportunities. The trick is that you have to heat the material to be glued, not the rod! This can be an issue if the parts you are gluing are large or otherwise require many BTUs to heat up. The typical plumber's propane torch may not be up to the task. For one application I used a Weed Dragon propane torch to get and keep enough heat in one big chunk. I also turned my gas grill on high and preheated the parts to get most of the way to a temperature similar to what you do when welding cast iron. projects.
