i have this version: http://www.durafix.com.au/index.php?content=home.htm
which is probably the same thing anyway.
works really well and it really strong stuff too.
i havent built a tuber using this stuff though, but i know it would hold up.
from what ive tested so far, the Aluminium has always broken long before the welds look like letting go.
the only flaw is the heating of the metal, if you have another join that is close to where you are about to weld, its possible it may melt again.
still handy stuff to have though.

I have built two scale chassis and a set of Maxx axles using Alu-weld rod... It takes a bit of practice, but it works well.
Here is a pic of one chassis, every joint down to the leaf spring hangers are "welded" with the rod.

I would like to try it, where are you buying it at?

I found the rod at Harbor Freight, $8 a pack I believe there were 8 rods in a pack.

i've found that if you zip tie 20 or so of them together, they make a good ninja knocker......thats about it.

I've used a version of this stuff out of the Snap-on or Matco trucks called "quick- fix" on a few seperate tubers and on countless other link mounts and other items with great results. As said earlier it takes a lot of practice and patience but it works.
