Hey Guys,
Just a note to say I have used the first generation of this type product I got from a gent in Texas, Charles Kimbrough. His product is called HTS-735 and I've been using it 2-3yrs now. It works very well as advertised, similar in use like solder, and is quite strong. I do take the extra measure to prep/clean the joined area like I do with all aluminum. I have repaired carburetors and a multitude of die-cast items. Since die-cast is really a combination of garbage metals, mostly zinc, alum, tin, and other crap, this rod works very well. Most throw away die-cast items when they break, because they're unrepairable, but most can be salvaged with this rod. If you've never tried it, you miss out on a handy product that does work for the parameters it was designed for. I've even drilled and re-threaded repaired oversize holes with it......Denny
