Re: [VAC] aluminum sheet repair

[Jim Dunmyer]

I bought some of that "aluminum welding rod" at a flea market but
haven't yet had a chance to try it. It sure looks like it'd work; the
trick is to have the parent metal clean and heat IT so the solder melts
when applied to it, not to melt the solder with the torch itself.
