I remember Malc getting a kit....and a few others.
I have been sent some to try by a friend, with view to doing a quick write up on it for his website.....
I have had a play tonight using Butane/Propane mix blowtorch. Probably the most widely available torch for the DIY market.
Tried it on some 3mm ally,
Filling an 8mm hole, pretty good, took a bit of time to build the thickness.#
Fillet, seemed to melt nicely and flow, but just broke at the slighest bit of resistance.
Butt, 3mm gap, seemed to flow into the joint very well, done from both sides, took a bit of pressure but still broke with only hands.
I think 3mm ally is a bit out of the range of a normal blowtorch. Will try it on some thinner stuff later.
How did you all get on with yours??
