Extra helpful tips when repairing?
Another recommendation is to keep the flame at all times on the metal, and move the torch in a circular motion in about a 2 inch pattern around the area that needs to be repaired, do not pull the torch away unless the aluminum looks like it is going to buckle, remember aluminum dissipates heat very quickly and can drop 100 degrees in a few seconds. Move the torch over about 1 inch when you rub the rod on the area to be repaired, make sure the HTS-2000 is molten (completely liquid) while tinning with the brush, if chunky you need more heat as it must be above 730 degrees approximately to penetrate the aluminum and the aluminum will not melt until 1218 degrees. Always practice on a scrap piece of aluminum first to get used to your torch heat and remember all orders come with lifetime tech support if you ever have questions or need help with any repair.
