[QUOTE="Bob La Londe, post: 480127, member: 29682"] If you are talking about Muggy-Weld, Durafix, or one of the other low melt alloy rods they are fine for patching a hole, but I would not use them to fix any kind of stress crack. That being said I have never found them to be that easy to use even following their instructions scrupulously. Some folks claim they work great, but I found plane old DC MIG to be easier for welding aluminum if you clean and brush right before you weld, and AC Pulse TIG to be better and easier if slower. All of that being said I am not a professional welder nor do I play one on the Internet. Do what works for you and wear a life jacket. [/QUOTE]
