So far they are brewing great!

I have welded a lot of ALUM, mostly 5052. This rod is great value and welds well. I'm a happy welder with them! Great value/amount.

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • Speed

Broken pipe best in solder and flux

The welding rod was as advertised and worked well. The plastic tube holding the rod was broken and smashed, had to insert the welding rod into another tube!

Pros
  • All right!
Cons
  • Not sure

Blue Demon TIG Filling Wand

We have just discovered the Blue Demon Filling Wand brand. I have to say that we like them a lot and they are cheaper compared to other well-known brands.

Pros
  • An Absolute Legend
Cons
  • Damaged

Blue demon is a good thing.

Blue Demon welders work as expected, this TIG wand is no exception. Clean with acetone before use and you will be a happy welder. Would buy this again.

Pros
  • Easy setup
Cons
  • Useless features

Not worth the price difference

I'm tentatively giving this filler 2 stars as I've only used about 4 refills of it. I experienced an unbearable amount of sweat pollution on these 4 bars. I've tried to clean them with everything I have. They may need to be thrown away. I even took some soft aluminum flower wrap wire and welded it on to make sure it wasn't my method or my base material, it welded cleaner than this filler. I'll give it a few more chances and update this review if the filler needs a re-evaluation.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Modern

However, like most 4043 flows, this filler is great.

I've used many different fill sticks like most 4043 consumables it's great but this fill stick is useless due to the alarming level of contamination! I've used everything in the book to erase it and even tried topping it up with Brillo and then erasing it and nothing I do solves the problem. Switch to an old rod I've had for a while and bam it's like new. I made many attempts to get the same result in both sizes, 1/16 and 3/32! I've used it with several grades of aluminum and they all produced…

Pros
  • Durable finish
Cons
  • I won't say anything

Unsatisfied customer

Easy to order, right? 4043 in a plastic tube, right? NOT CORRECT! The package came quickly enough (thanks to Revain Prime) but when I opened the box I was a little shocked. What could be wrong with such a simple order? Well, first one of the hoses snapped and broke. I could get over it. What I couldn't get past was the fact that BOTH tubes were filled with what appeared to be black soot. Remember this is a TIG filler metal. The metal must be CLEAN. Due to the shape of this crappy order, every…

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Bad instructions
