Years ago, an old timer taught me how to weld aluminum with an
oxy-acetelyne torch. It was not that easy. You first used a yellow
acetylene only flame to apply a layer of soot to the aluminum. Then you
readjusted the flame to normal by adding oxygen. The problem with
welding or brazing aluminum is that it goes from solid to liquid without
any color change to warn you. The acetylene soot will burn off at 900
degrees, and the aluminum melts at around 1100 degrees.
This kit sounds like it would be a lot easier to use, even if the rods
are not exactly aluminum.

Watched a demonstration yesterday at a local flea market where they
welded aluminum using a handheld propane torch.
Looked pretty easy and the results were a very strong bond.
