[QUOTE="danmyersmn, post: 114617, member: 2096"] Alumiweld is similar to HTS2000. Its from Harbor Freight and is a bit cheaper then HTS2000. It's also a bit thicker and tends to melt slower then HTS2000. From what I have tested the HTS2000 melts before the metal is hot enough to grab it and let it flow into the material. You have to try and heat the metal and keep the flam away from the HTS2000 at the same time as your trying to put the HTS2000 onto the metal your heating with the flame. The Alumiweld takes longer to melt and flow but when it does the metal is hot enough to grab it. Nick stated he had foam behind the boat hull so I wouldn't try using it cause the foam is going to end up heating up and if it com busts then it becomes a huge mess. [/QUOTE]
