I do, but I don't tell my MOT tester I wouldn't use it for a sectional repair on a chassis leg though, I'd stick with er70 for that sort of job.Ive tended to use tig to avoid the OP's pproblems.
However, your process interests me.
Do you use it structural stuff like sill etc.
Is it as strong?
If your welding[brazing] two panels together with 968, then grind the bead of it off how strong is it?
Modern vehicles have Boron in the steel.
As welding causes embrittlement.
Brazing must be used.
Really ? I wonder what the MOT men will make of that !Modern vehicles have Boron in the steel.

Will TIG do.48 posts so far and not one photo of what brazed mig welding looks like
Repaired per manufacturers procedure, it’s a pass.Really ? I wonder what the MOT men will make of that !
Hugh can you hammer and dolly the braze ok? What amps do you use? I have a Portamig 215 and minimum amp are 15 so maybe on the high side? Would like to give it a go.
Glue, just like an Aston MartinRepaired per manufacturers procedure, it’s a pass.
Doesn’t matter if the manufacturer says it’s rivets and glue, it has to pass.
You sure can. You don’t need any special low minimum amps, I’ve run it successfully in all my various machines to date. Even ran it off my ranger with a spool gun.Hugh can you hammer and dolly the braze ok? What amps do you use? I have a Portamig 215 and minimum amp are 15 so maybe on the high side?

Surely brazing is no more than hard soldering, it’s not joining the parent metals as a weld would.
