Yellow Tanks & Special Rods Re: [sdiy] Aluminium Solder

[cynthia.webster at gte.net]

Hi Batz!

Once here at the LA County Fair I bought an"Aluminum 
Welding Kit" that was a yellow butane type handheld torch tank 
with the high-heat burning gas mixture and what looked like a 
handfull of aluminum alloyish brazing bars.

Sadly I never got a chance to try it out 
as it was lost while moving house, but they're out there.
