Has any one ever used Alumiweld brazing rod for aluminum. I picked some up from HF to patch screw holes in upper coach.
The PO had put 4 snaps around each window to hold window covers in place. I may be sorry but I plan on discarding the covers and need to remove the snaps from the body to prevent leaks. I will have the interior panels removed for insulation installation and now would be an ideal time to aluminum braze the holes shut. I saw some U-tubes on using the rods and was impressed. It melts at 750F, 390C. I hope to use a butane torch. I can get something hotter if I need to. I also plan checking the roof for unwanted holes before replacing the ceiling. I will need to remove the insulation from around the work areas. Is there something else that would work? JB weld?
Currently, it is not Ideal working conditions. 1 foot of snow on the coach, snowing and 3 degrees F below 0 tonight.
Thanks,
Ray R.
