just tried this stuff today, was going good when I was interrupted by the wife hitting a deer. I filled a crack and had built up a piece I had to remove to get at the crack. after the deer I did a pressure test, and I was so close, just a tiny pin hole, well I melted two sticks down over the side of the toon. I called it quits for the night, but I'm confident I'll get it. I'm also pushing it pretty hard by making a half inch tall wall of rod on top of rod, I had it once, by the way it's pressure tight right now, I just want to see if i can build the flat piece back with this stuff for sport

5 years later TS8000 is still the best.

Aren't any welding used on boats built with rivets?

did you say stronger than original? I would want to see proof. and this would be really difficult on any alloy cylinder head as it would be next ti impossible to heat the head to that 735 degrees. the head will just absorb the heat from that little torch

How may types of Aluminum are there? I have a 6061 type piece the guy says ir is hard to weld.

Can I lay on a creeper and weld overhead?

I've used this product with great success but I would want to see some bend tests of a repair like this.

Im new to all of this, and the brazing of aluminum has caught my attention to make something just to try it out. When brazing aluminum I take it that the length of the square tubing has a huge effect on initial heating, would you suggest using a acetylene torch for tubing over a certain length or the propane torch will work?

I can't help but feel that you are the Tom Hanks of aluminum welding. Thank you for the knowledge.

does this also work for boats used in saltwater?

I thought it would break when he was beating on it. Definitely impressive!

I bought some rods like this years ago I think it was called Alumaweld or Aluma-weld, I'm curious if this is the same stuff.

Great Video ! This is what Bob Ross looks like when he's painting, always easier when he does it !

I had that same yellow propane or map gas tank and a different torch and I couldn't get it hot enough to melt the braze rods. Maybe my torch is wack (cheap brass one at Home depot) it doesn't sound as powerful as yours.

Awesome

Is this process strong enough to bond aluminum bungs to the pontoons? (I intend to drill holes around 12 o'clock position of the tubes to add threaded pipe plugs to ad air pressure/suck out water maintenance)

How do you avoid toxic fumes?

I've got a busted engine case on a Honda 4 wheelers. My chain came off and bunched up around the sprocket and the shifter. The case cracked and all the engine oil ran on the ground. So I ordered a used case..I'd like to repair the original case. It's cast aluminum so idk much other than it's nothing special about it. Would the HTS-735-11 rods work?

Thanks buddy… I’ll be doing that today….

You got anything that’s stronger than 700 Fahrenheit? Like 1000?

bru get a tig gun...

I'm gonna try, thanks!

HTS-735-11 is only availabe at aluminum-weld.com Any site other the aluminum-weld.com is NOT HTS-735-11.

Will this pass a pressure test on the toon to check for leaks?

Good job. Protip, next time, wire brush the hole throughly with a small steel bristle brush that'll fit inside the hole. 2nd, before you put the bolt in the hole, "tin" it, get the hole to >730°F. Rub a small amount of the rod inside of it all the way around, ensuring good adhesion. Then finally, do what you did there. This is the way.

What torch/gas are you using? Can I use propane torch with that rod? Thanks

1 kg rods how price sir

This is Rory from California. Just got off the phone with you folks. Also just subscribed to your channel. Can't wait to fix my boat!

Very cool video. What do you do to do static prop balancing?

This isn't really welding but bracing. Anyway, it's nice to know how it's done because most people don't have TIG/MIG machines

Nice video

Thank you

Hello..Nice video..I’m hearing some water in my pontoon tube. I saw how to repair, but how do I find where the water is coming from? I heard you need to add some air in valve? Do you have any videos on that? Your thoughts

Great job

I have used these and other brands of Aluminum Brazing rods as well as tig, stick and mig welding aluminum. They all have their place. One thing that is never mentioned and haven't seen a single video about is using a flux after cleaning to reduce oxides? Clean parent metal is essential in most welding / brazing. I would think some simple flux would make all of this brazing much easier....

Good video. Greetings from Chicago

I am still getting started welding the inside of my boat sled, and there is a square tubbing break what is the best way to weld all the way around it? The bottom area that is also broke is about 8 inches from the bottom of the boat.

how to Weld Square Aluminum Tubing that is in my boat sled after being cracked in half?

If I am welding inside of an aluminum boat do I need to have something to protect the heat source from heating areas I am not welding? If so what kind of protection?

Yep I got some from eBay and Amazon your name and all but they did not do like this at all I’m guessing I got the fakes ones sad people do that crap. The rod has 4042 stamped on one side and 2.00 on the other but when they got hot they just broke it was very weird from the start I should have guessed something was up but I’m dumb

Awsome tutorial

How do you remove all water from a pontoon before trying to fix it?

I don’t have a welding machine, but I do have these rods and have used them to great success repairing holes and cracks in my Jon boats. I was thinking of installing a casting deck on one of these boats. Would this method be adequate to construct a frame for this deck?

I have a pontoon boat with stripped out drain plug holes. Can I use this to build up the holes so I can re-tap them? - BTW: I'm really looking forward to this for scag repair!

Rods are only Sold on our Website. If you purchase somewhere else you are not getting HTS-735-11.

What about a hole the side of a quarter or a little bigger. How would one repair that?

Nice 👍 video

Does this product join two peices of aluminum? Will it weld two peices together?

i have a small repair id like to do on my skeg, smaller area then this, can you please send me a list or link for what i need to purchse do do this?
