Blue Demon Triple Play / BD-6000T aluminum zinc brazing rod 

I know this is an older video but it was just in time for me. I really like your presentation style: Calm and thorough without a crazy intro or lousy music.

After years ago first watched this.. this video pops back in my RU-vid feed. Really appreciate your recommendation. It's a life saver. Thanks

The thread repair is sweet, I followed your lead with perfect results, thanks.

Just bought some of these I tig weld handrails for a living and have found that a simple repair when my leads don't reach to be an absolute must in the tool box

Thanks for the helpful video! Nice Tie Fighter in the background, too!

Just picked up some of these rods off amazon, tried them out and am pretty impressed so far am using them to build a rad relocate for my brute force 750

First video I've seen where you talk about tinning the substrate - makes all the sense in the world. Haven't had much luck with these in the past but I'm excited to go give it another try. Thanks

Thanks for the video. I've used these in the past to create a snorkel for my H1. Used the OEM flange with a 4" aluminum pipe and brazed it together with these rods. Something else I like about them is how easily you can shape it after it cools by sanding or grinding on it, truly great product!

Very reassuring video, happy boating

EXCELLENT VIDEO THANK YOU FOR SHARING ,

I have a 1936 Evinrude needing a thread repair for a gas tank mount - this looks like a good option!

Exactly what I needed

Good video, order some, will see if it will repair aluminum loading ramps, thanks!

Good vid. I have to repair a broken off pressure switch on 5/16 aluminum ac line.

Very informative...tx.

Hello Jay, do you think I can use to repair a motorcycle gas thank. ?

I bought these to repair stress cracks in the bow of my 1/8" boat hull. I was considering oxy acetylene but it looks like a simple propane torch works. There is a lot of aluminum to dissipate the heat so I will see if propane can do it.

Great info. Let's say you have two sheets of aluminum sheet you want to bond together. One is a rectangular base plate, and one is a rectangular perimeter to that base plate, to give it an offset piece of decorative trim. From your last technique that seems entirely possible, but what is the risk to the bond to then clean up the joints with a grinder/dremel. Again, this would be decorative, say, a car console top plate.

Great video, hoping to repair a fractured menorah.

Hello, may i ask if this would work with the shiny aluminum 3mm thickness square bars please? Of course you’s need to sand em down and do a good prep on the surfaces. Just wanted to know first before I buy I guess.

just got mine in the mail, I almost hope that no one else hears about it, like wtf talk about welding hacks

excellent!

Hey, thanks for the great video! I also was wondering if someone would know how to do Aluminium 5083 brazing? I read on internet that in general it is considered not suitable for that but maybe I could do Al 5083 and Al 6000 brazing? Thanks in advance for advice!

After 40 years of soldering, I bought some aluminum brazing rods that melts at 720ºF, and tried it with my propane plumbing torch. No problems brazing two 1/16" angle aluminum test pieces, edge to edge to form a square tube. Tried it with 1/4" thick aluminum angles to do the same test, and I couldn't do it. The aluminum never got hot enough. Isolated the part from vise with steel dowel pins, and still no go after 5 minutes of heating. This test was done on 2" test pieces. Imagine if each were 2 feet long? Went to looking for an alternative and found your video. Your brazing rod was interesting to me since it melts at under 400ºF, strangely there was no tensile strength numbers anywhere on the product page! Question; If it's stronger than the base aluminum, how come everyone says that aluminum weld with a TIG or MIG welder is stronger than brazing? Since one can only TIG / MIG weld the edges of two parts, I would've thought brazing would wick under the part and produce a much bigger brazed area, than just the edges! I want to build an incumbent bike chassis from standard aluminum extrusions, but don't want to use nuts and bolts, rivets, and don't have the welding equipment or skills to do aluminum welding. Would brazing with your rods produce connections as strong as using nuts and bolts or welding?

What about a sideways hole in an engine block???????

Can you drill and tap it? I would imagine not. What would you do for a smaller screw with 5-44 threads while the process be the same as it was for the bolt?

Can I bond some aluminum togethet with this and then have it powder coated after? I'm told by the powder coater that their ovens reach 400 degrees celsius.

I am needing 5o repair our local school aluminum boat & due to our remote location i do not have access to argon for aluminum welding. Has anyone tried these brazing rods on a aluminum riveted boat before? Just FYI I live in Ulukhaktok, NWT, Canada.

Could this be used to repair a magnesium chainsaw crankcase?

Do I need acetylene to heat the aluminum? Cause propane doesn't work. I tried it on the rods alone and propane wouldn't melt the rods?

Can these be used on 304 stainless? I'm building storage tanks that will be up to 15psi. Thanks a million!

👌👌

the new thread durability its good? for tied exhaust thing like head cylinder? head cylinder was hot.. sorry new comment haha

What about the hull of a aluminum jon boat ?!

Can it be used to weld two pieces of wire?

I feel like you have a completely different product then what I have despite the fact that it's the same package. I can't get this crap to stick to anything. It looks like what you're doing, but once it cools it just flakes right off. I've never seen anyone get the results you're getting in fact, you must have some arcane skill lol

sir jow to order brazing rod from you im here in the philipnes

Can it be used overhead on a boat hull?

gumana got the item, is there a store name website?

Many times you talk about 'tinning' the surrounding surfaces. What is 'tinning'?

How would it react to salt water?

Sir Can I use it for radiator repairing please?

Will this rod work for a patch made from aluminum to a atv crankcase

How about thread repair on a motor mount hole its sideways not up and down👍👍👍

Harder than mild steel..?? I highly doubt it

Buy it on Amazon. 25 bucks.

Dude you really might want to think about doing some serious strength tests with that stuff before actually using it on mechanical Tools and parts That are very important When somebody's life is on the line. That cheap aluminium brazing rod is not meant for carburetors Or equipment or parts of that type regardless of what their scam infomercials say. I've seen serious strength tests done with this product on RU-vid Before I did my own just to test Other people's Outcomes. It is strong but it is not stronger than the parent middle number 1 number 2 it is not penetrating the metal like tig welding or Mig welding . It's half ass soldering aluminium that's all it is. But it's cheap so cheap people buy cheap shit which is why the saying goes you get what you pay for. There are better aluminium brazing rods that have actually flux in the rod that uses a higher temp before the aluminium brazing rod starts to flow which is how it should be when it comes to soft metals such as aluminium. That way you have an actual chance of Maybe some sort of actual penetration and bonding of the 2 separate metals flowing into one. Not Soft cheap aluminium And a pencil lead rod shape That Pools up and sits on top of the parent Metal And does not penetrate. This is not welding it's barely brazing

After 5 mins trying to heat the aluminum to use this rod, I gave up.
