Even the manufacturers dont like Aluminium rods.........the wet flux / coating is abrasive and corrosive....it ruins the mixers very quickly so the cleaning and maintenance time is out of proportion with the returns
Yep, the flux is a pain in the *ss. You realy have to clean and scrub the parts, after welding and chipping slag, in hot soapy water with a hard brush to get all that salty slag off. If you don't remove every bit that's trying to hide in nooks and crannies it will start eating away at the aly in no time.
