Troubleshooting
Brazing rod not melting.
Increase the heat from your heat source. Ensure the aluminium is hot enough to melt the brazing rod.
Poor bonding or weak repair.
Ensure the aluminium surface is clean and free of oxidation before applying the brazing rod. Apply sufficient heat.
Brazing rod sticking to the aluminium, but not bonding.
The aluminium might not be hot enough. Increase the heat and try again.
