Re: [ATM] soldering aluminum

["Pat Bunn" <pbunn@patbunn.com>]

I investigated it to repair an aluminum boat. The hype from the vendors is 
that it works great. The results from those that have tried it, is that is 
is terrible. I paid $75 to have a weldor TIG it and that worked great.

I wouldn't use it .
